It is January 30th, a sunny and 6℃ out. The greenhouse is registering 18.5℃. It had reached a high of 23.2℃ at 1:30pm. It has not been in the negative today. Looks and feels like spring. Who would have thought that February will be the warmest month of winter. I remembered February 2019 was the coldest.
I better get my ass in gear and get ready to start seeds. But once again or should I say, I’m still mired in clutters in my environment as well as in my head. I’ve just cleared the dining room table of the paper clutter and my painting stuff. That means I’ve just moved them somewhere else – to be dealt with later. Famous last words. But what can I do? Habits are hard to fix. I am working on them. I can’t put everything on hold until I’m fixed. I have to proceed as best as I can.
I’ve finished #2 of my landscape series. I’m pretty happy with it. The paints are put away for another day. I will work on those habits for the next few days. One more day and the Ultimate Blog Challenge will be finished. Surely I can show up tomorrow. Then I can claim success, missing just one day. On other fronts, I have not succeeded in losing 5 pounds in January. I think I’ve only shed one or two. It’s better than none. So like Bugs Bunny would say, That’s all, folks. Here’s my finished painting.

Lily, I can relate to all you’re saying, except the temperatures. But hey, I’m in Phoenix, and it is 79 degrees F right now. I love it! I also love your painting. I remember the haunting and beautiful frozen landscapes of winter in Delaware, all sepia-toned. I sketched some but never painted them. Better get those seeds going!
Thank you, Kebba. It’s melting today. I had spent one winter month in Lake Havasu. Enjoyed it but not sure what living long term here would be like. I do like the desert.
I don’t have a greenhouse but getting itchy to get the garden started. Lia will plant carrots in March! I love your painting!
Thank you, Martha!
