Return to the Frozen North

Well, it isn't quite THIS bad, but after a winter in Arizona, it feels like this.

Everything needs to be done, it seems.

We're still in the process of unpacking.

Coming back into a house after a period of absence makes you see everything with a new vision. I didn't even go into the basement or the storage building until yesterday....

I need to deep clean every room, get blinds put up, rearrange the furniture, cull out 'stuff'. A lot of stuff.

The grass is long, the ground is soaked. The garden must be planned and I really do need to dig up those irises that have bolted. But outside must wait; it's just too cold.

At least I can think about what I'm going to make when I get back into the studio.
