Mr Winter is here to stay

The temps at the polar caps may  be going up but the temps here in the USA are dropping steadily. I just don't understand this global warming thing? We have had one of the coldest winters on record here where we live and I see it is not going away for some time.
I am really thankful that we have not had the precipitation that comes with these cold blast from the north. That is the only thing that has made this winter a little more bearable. One thing good about all this is that we don't have to get out in it and go to a job! My job is right here at home so I don't have to worry about what Mother Nature has in store each morning.
I did get my peg board up on the wall in the shop. When I refer to "The Shop" that would be my garage. This is where my creativity will come out. I have several furniture projects planned over time and it will be nice to have a roomy place to build them.
I also have started painting landscapes again. Back when I returned from overseas I stated painting with oils and did so for about 5 years. As the kids got older and got into sports I spent more time with them and less time painting.
When we travel I look for pictures to take for future paintings and have many picked out for later. It is so relaxing to paint and I put myself into the painting and almost feel that I am there again. We have many more places to go and see and I am sure there will be many more paintings to come...
