Have you ever noticed how patterns make up our days? They can be quite comforting.
I have been rediscovering Zentangles. It has been several years ago that I pursued this form of art. It is a relaxing way to just let your pen find repeated strokes that come together and form abstract shapes. It is neat to combine them with watercolors. There are many "You Tube" channels available to watch. Even if you are not artistically inclined you may find this a great way to unwind.
Speaking of unwinding...a trip to the library last weekend produced a delightful stack of books.
I am reading the Last House by Jessica Shattuck. It spans several generations and approximately 80 years. All about the "age of oil". Thus far very enjoyable read.
Winter has certainly come to stay for awhile. We received another 3-4 inches overnight.
The birds are visiting constantly. When the snow flies they come by for some nourishment.
Kelsey is always happy to come indoors after a romp in winter's wonderland...
Gunny too!
Especially if he can have a bone.
There are certain things that comprise the quiet days of this season.. There are patterns I fall into...like reading a good book...taking long walks with the pooches...watching tv with my sweetie and sipping a hot drink. These form my days and bring me comfort.
How about you? What patterns are you enjoying?
Have a lovely week.
Hugs
Debbie

Gunny!
Wow, I've been away from blogger longer than I thought.
