We are back to winter scenes!  This is the white we are again seeing, but it is not out of the ordinary for February in South Dakota.  Those of us living here are getting plenty tired of it, however!

This watercolor painting sold this fall, and to my pleasure, it sold to a woman who had commuted in this area, driving past Lookout Mountain in years past.  Landmarks like this call to us: they are familiar and comforting.  I see this mountain out my kitchen window, and the welcoming sun peeking over the ridge starts my day out wonderfully.  Here is to the many comforting landmarks in your own lives!
