It's Not Like Riding A Bicycle

 I've been trying to paint some scenes from photos I've taken and I have discovered that I have forgotten any watercolor techniques I ever managed to learn. Good grief! I may need to shift gears and go with pen and ink and just do a wash to add some color.

In other news, it's been snowing all day, and I mean so much I couldn't see across the field. Tomorrow hubby will shovel the truck out so we can go shopping. I guess we have about 3 or 4 inches of snow.

I finished 4 loads of laundry.

Hubby and I watched some YouTube videos. One guy is panning for gold along Lake Superior in some layers of black sand and finding a little bit of gold. And you know how YouTube sends you more stuff, another guy bought a bunch of sand to mix as mortar, so he decided to run it through his sluice. After spending 6 days of shoveling, sluicing and panning, he ended up with $104 worth of gold. He said it was too much work but a fun experiment and it covered the $39 he spent on the sand.

No we are not going sluicing. But I took and magnifier and looked at the sand I buy for my plants and it was only quartz.

That's about it for today. I'm feeling much better. Apatite is back, energy ok, nose not stuffy, lungs clear, no headache.
