As always, I love the different snippets of your world there. It would never occur to me to celebrate Beethoven's anniversary, even though I love his music.

We were surrounded by greenery, trees, flowers, birds and of course the crawling creatures.

I would be exactly the same as them - very unaware of all things snake being from the same-ish northwoods as them. Lol It's wonderful how you're thinking of them. 😉 <br />Your peace rose is gorgeous. And that misty morning photo looks like a painting! And speaking of painting - do your talents never end? That painting of the squirrel is so good! I think watercolors are so difficult to do well. Sending big hugs your way and wishing you a great week ahead. ❤️ carrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-55983687071907111452020-03-07T01:24:19.873-08:002020-03-07T01:24:19.873-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549975647569876455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-23018541920935326922020-03-06T20:59:00.705-08:002020-03-06T20:59:00.705-08:00Hi Sheri, I hope you have a lovely fundraiser this...Hi Sheri, I hope you have a lovely fundraiser this weekend with your family.

It sounds like you are busy cleaning and organizing. I will also have all the family over next weekend for a fundraiser we are attending. The sleigh ride looks so fun. Those white lorikeets are beautiful sitting in your tree, and the peace rose is so lovely. The colors DO look peaceful, don't they? I love the misty morning photo. It's so pretty, it looks like a post card. That's a nice water color of the squirrel. Please keep up with your lessons - you are talented with this.<br /><br />Enjoy your time with your family, Patricia.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-21288368294803932222020-03-06T09:18:34.519-08:002020-03-06T09:18:34.519-08:00Growing every day here too!!😳

Am trying to build up my supply of watercolours, and I am enjoying the lessons. So funny we did a squirrel when they are not seen in Australia. At this stage, the family are still coming from Canada, fingers crossed. Indeed a scary business, and we are being mindful what we touch, and are avoiding certain places at the moment. It is spreading rapidly in our city.
