SNOW"PEOPLE" FUN



Leigh and I have been having a great time here on the farm, mostly catching up on post-wedding duties (ie: writing cards, cleaning out our boxes from the basement, etc) and as well, we have had some time to spend with my nieces and nephew and the rest of the family.
The weather has been fabulous here reaching a sunny +5 allowing for perfect snow"people" building weather.
This week Uncle Leigh and I, Evee and Jakee, enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of play in the snow building a VERY big Snowgirl, and a skinny minny Snowboy. We had so much fun.
Even funnier would be the spectacle we were making of ourselves trying to get the balls of snow on top of one another! Both Uncle Leigh and I would try and lift at the same time, (and Jake and Evee tried too!) Didn’t work!!! Then we tried using a wood ramp to roll the snowball on top, but the ramp broke!!! Then, we attempted putting it on in two pieces, which crushed the snowball below!!!!

So in the end, we had to settle for a slightly smaller version of what we imagined our Snowpeople could be! But here they are, grass hair, carrot nose, coal eyes, gloves, hat, and all! It was a wonderful time together.

Lift Angie, LIFT!! Hahahahahahaha. It really was funny watching Angie try to lift a snowball the same size as her, I had a great view from the kitchen window. LIFT!

Also, 3 hours later, after the dog got up it's confidence, it attacked the snow people and left them in pieces.

What fun! I wish it would snow here again, we just need one more dump and then the winter can slowly fade away as it's been threatening to do. Yes, there are a few flowers in bloom already!! Maybe when it snows I can make the flowers the snow "peoples" eyeballs or something...

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
