Sketchbook: Shagadelic it was NOT

It carried the howl of unleashed rage, roaring through the trees, and across the fields,bringing its woes, screeching and ripping off limbs, tossing aside all that was in its way. As I snuggled under the covers slipping into my dreams it slipped in there too and I tossed and turned at the nightmare of a house with yellowish green shag carpets and peeling rotting walls.

So I woke up in a rather glum mood today and can't seem to snap out of it.

:( Cheer up, my friend! The end of January kind of does these things to us, sometimes, though. We are all depending on you to pop around and cheer us all up with your lively comments and takes on what we are doing, too!

You know what? I sure wish I had your talent to paint with words. Reading here is always an adventure and feast for the eyes and ears!

Feel Better!

This is the worst time of the year...but it does pass. Spring is just around the corner...hang in there.

If I were near by, why I'd take you out for a Cafe Mocha and a scone.

I don't know what is worse, bitter cold or howling wind...Oh I know bitter cold with a howling wind.

That wind does discombobulate a person for sure. If I was near I would come by with my bottle of sambucca and then we could put some in the cafe mocha and eat our scones and have a laugh or two.

The sketch and the wind is haunting and very effective.

Yellowish green shag--the perfect carpeting for barfing your troubles into. They just disappear. Gone with the wind.
