We've had some major winter in Toronto.
And I've been working on a summer still life.
 I've been enjoying it so much, but it's not finished.
So I thought I'd show you one part -- still a work
in progress.  Lots to do, but I'm getting that summer
feeling painting it -- this section is of one of my
favorite flowers -- peonies in an antique water jug.

Another gorgeous snow scene
On Friday we had 25 centimeters of snow here,
which looked postcard perfect on Saturday.  I'm
glad I took some pictures to share with you,
because today it rained for most of the day, and
the huge snow banks were melting, and getting
muddy from the salt and sand trucks trying to
keep motorists safe.  And the puddles.  Wow!

Have a staying-warm-and-happy day.
