Who Stole the Tarts?

Out of all the new books I am so excited about reading, I just grabbed Alice in Wonderland from the shelf. I have a wonderful blue leatherbound copy with gold foil and coloring in the impressed image on the cover.

Someday, I'm going to make it a snow-day tradition to have cocoa and read Alice in Wonderland with my daughters. Besides, there's not much better when it is snowing outside than the soup song!

Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!

In like a lion, Out like a lamb

"The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning(snow)for the District of Columbia which goes into effect from 2pm this afternoon until 2pm Monday. Based on the current storm track 6 to 10 inches of snow can be expected . Gusty winds will also develop overnight Sunday into early Monday."

From my AlertDC this morning. For some reason this made really happy! March and I get along very well - we understand each other - even though March weather is not particularly consistent or delightful, and in spite of March being of average length with some spastic holidays (I'm looking at you, Easter and Daylight Savings!). In fact, March and I have such a longstanding relationship that I painted a piece several years ago called the Lion and the Lamb. It really has nothing to do with the actual month, but the concept/identity of the month was one I carried into the inspiration for the piece. I was going to post it but I haven't had a chance to watermark it yet.

Welcome March! I'm glad to see you :)
