Lets Par-tay!



I thought these limes looked like they are trying to organize a party.  Maybe for the Super Bowl.

The weather in San Antonio is back to normal.  It's up to about 60 degrees and all the snow has melted.  We had a rare snowfall that closed all the freeways through the city.  Actually, it drizzled first, then snowed, leaving a treacherous sheet of ice on the streets.   The neighborhood kids loved having the day off from school.  There is a small hill in front of our house, and they had fun sliding down the hill on makeshift sleds like plastic garbage can lids and even a laundry basket.   They didn't seem to mind that it was only about 20 degrees.  Yikes.  I stayed indoors and made hot chocolate and baked sweet rolls.

  1. Great painting Virginia, certainly does look like a party!!

    I enjoyed all of your snow pics on fb. Looks like your family had a great time:) I lived in TX growing up and we had snow 1 time. My Mom went out and bought us sleds and boots all the snow gear and it was almost melted by the time we got home.

  4. Chocolat chaud et pains sucrés, ce sont des petits plaisirs que l'on apprécie sur tout les continents lorsqu'il fait froid, ici en France je profite de la même chose!
    Concernant ta peinture elle est très intéressante car tu as très bien travaillé les reflets et ce n'est pas toujours facile, notamment sur la table! très bon travail Virginia !

  6. Nice painting. I like the reflections on the table. The highlights of the bottles look good with the front one a bit different than the back ones.
    Too bad you can't share your cooking with all of us who only get to hear about it. :-)

  7. There is so much luminosity in your bottles! I like the arrangement also. The browns are wonderful and rich. My favorite is the clear bottle in the front...Oh! it is so nice!!
