Wednesday Winter Warm-ups

One of Redbush's good friends called her asking if she and Bonzi would like to go out on the local cross-country ski trails for a ski.  Redbush informed her that after her wrist had been cracked a few years ago that she wasn't brave enough to deal with any steep hills. We agreed to take the dog trail that only had gradual slopes and Redbush survived the trip even though her good friend is an avid skier and would much have preferred  trails with much more challenge.  Bonzi enjoyed himself, too, sniffing out all the new smells, and tracks, turning to check on us to see if his mistress and friend were still coming.  The weather was grey and cooler than yesterday, so, Redbush had to stop occasionally to let her friend know that she had to warm her fingers even though she was wearing gloves.  Poor circulation!  She doesn't want  to admit that maybe it comes with age. Yesterday Redbush worked a bit on a watercolour artwork, one of two, that she has to produce to donate for a banquet when the governor general visits.  OOOOOOO  that sounds so important! The local art society was asked to have 200 artworks for display on the tables at the governor general's banquet when he comes sometime in June.  I haven't finished it yet, but thought I would show you the photo along with the unfinished 4"x6" painting.  Redbush wants to appologize for her illiterate way of presenting these pieces.  She will make sure to attempt to turn other ones the right way next time.   I hope you're having much more sunlight than we are in your part of the world. the world.
