Unexpected Relaxation

Today my hubby and I had plans for a wine night with 4 of our favorite people, but Mother Nature had other plans. We only ended up with about 4ish inches of snow but we feared that the pet sitter wouldn’t be able to make it to our house so we opted out. Initially we were both disappointed as we had been looking forward to a night of fun, friends and not having to take the dogs out ourselves.

I have found unexpected happiness in this lazy day. I think perhaps it is partly because yesterday I did this:
That’s right I made a gargoyle! Ironically it was a chess piece, a replacement bishop the buyer of the chess set requested because the first one had a small crack. But it felt so good to get my hands in clay and make something, and I am hoping my apathy towards clay is lifted and this week I can begin anew.

This snowy day has also provided me with quiet and peace of mind. Down here in the south when it snows no one expects anything of you, it isn’t expected you will go out anyways, you are expected to curl up with a book in front of a fire even if there is only an inch on the ground. So that’s what we did and it’s been wonderful, to make my evening a little better I am going to bake some cookies to add calories to my wonderful day! I will leave this post with a picture of Sookie during our snowy walk, as always Sookie loves the snow, Shippo thinks it is little tiny flakes of torture sent down to make his life somehow even worse and would not hold still for his glamour shots!
