Dereliction

Wow! It's been a while since I posted anything. Unfortunately, there's just not much to talk about in the winter. The last few shows of the season were nothing to write about!

On the home front, we've been busy with holidays, family, and the death of Terrie's stepgrandfather. The picture of my feeder in Birds and Blooms magazine resulted in a tremendous response and we were kept hopping with orders from our Etsy store.

We plan to finally get a real, organized, studio this spring. At this point we're not sure how we're going to do that so we are getting ideas and cost estimates. The time has come, though, to get everything together in one place and NOT have bits and pieces taking up space in every room in the house.

We'll be going back to Texas in March. We'll be at the Dallas Arboretum Artscape the third weekend in March, and then on to the Zilker Gardens Festival in Austin the following weekend. Surely it won't snow in Dallas late in March two years in a row!

Hummingbird fact for today: Winter hummers are now a regular phenomena in the Southeastern United States. Check out this article from the Knoxville News Sentinel.
