Loosening up. And for a special treat, and a dose of inspiration, I went with my artist friend, Kristen to see Catherine Maize's exquisite little paintings at Paul Thiebaud Gallery on this otherwise gray, wet, winter day. Sunshine for the soul.

I have been painting. But mostly I feel like hibernating. With a good book. Or video. Or friend by my side.

American Bach Soloists' "Messiah" at Grace Cathedral with my childhood friend, Mag tonight. We grew up knowing each other's cats and dogs. She owns a painting my mother made of our cat, Alexander. And now she is going to own a painting I have made of her current cat. Old friends, cats and dogs remembered, Handel's "Messiah." It's feeling a lot like Christmas around here.

"Cows are notoriously languid creatures and make their way home at their own unhurried pace." (Thank you "The Phrase Finder") Family Blend starts around here next week and I, for one, can't wait. The days will start getting longer on the same day they arrive.
