Friday Happenings

First of all, just let me say how thankful I am that we were missed by the tornadoes racing through Virginia Wednesday. And, so sad that a town I am familiar with (and used to live near) was badly hit. Three died in that town.

Second....Did you know that 350 million pictures are uploaded to Facebook every single day? I get information like that through a trivia email thingy. I just wonder how many pictures are uploaded to Blogger every day? I do my share. hehe.

Third....I hate it when I have a day I don't feel well. But, I feel so blessed to be in a position that I can just go to bed until I feel better. A lot of people don't have that option.

I did another pastel the other day. It was ok, not good. But, practice makes perfect they say.


I couldn't resist taking a picture, through a window, of this cardinal sitting on a crepe myrtle branch. I'll be glad when I can get back out on my balcony!! But, brrr.... it's cold out there.

  4. Like you dear, we were SO thankful our area stayed mostly safe despite the terrible storms. I was quite terrified by the winds and 4 tornadoes did touch down in the Raleigh area.
    My heart goes out to those towns and country places where there was loss of life, injury and damage.

    Stay well - and keep painting, you're good Latane, and a great inspiration to those of us who are in our 'golden years', haha!
    Great cardinal shot - we have dozens this Winter so hopefully lots of babies come Springtime.

    Hugs - Mary

  11. I am so sorry to read about the devastation from the tornado. They come out of nowhere, seemingly.
    Your pastel is pretty - I like the shades you used.

  12. Such devastation - and it always feels worse when it's a place you know. Hope it's warming up soon for you over there, we've had glimpses of sun which have been most welcome.
