First Full Day Of Spring In USA!
 |
| Officially Spring in the USA! Somebody should notify the weather! Woke this morning to more snow! Boston broke all time snow record! 109.1 inches! Not able to paint much lately! Hurt my shoulder! Maybe too much snow shoveling and snow roof raking! Hope to soon get to all my art blogging buddies' blogs to write comments. Miss painting so much! (Still love the snow!) |
Hi Michael, how terrible! I hope your shoulder mends quickly! Definitely an odd way to celebrate the first day of Spring, will it ever melt? Sending you many healing hugs and warmer spring-like temps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Celia! Had cortisone shot the other day! Hope it works. Hard even to type! May start painting with left hand! Grazie buddy!
DeleteMichael
Celia took the words right out of my mouth. Hang in there; warmer temps are headed your way--and do let the sun do the shoveling!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! Thank you so much Linda! I miss painting so much! Don't want to start back to early. Hate to go backwards! Lucky to have so many art blogging buddies! Take care! Michael
Deletewell....it is certainly GOOD that you love snow! I think I'd have a very bad attitude if I lived where you do! I grew up where there was lots of snow and I remember clearly getting VERY tired of it.....and I was a kid! hahaha! I hope that your injury resolves itself very soon. Take care of yourself. Sketch in your sketchbook! That can be satisfying. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Celeste! I know! You are right about the snow! Most of family, friends, neighbors, and just about everyone in the area aren't happy with so much snow! I have learned to keep my love of snow to myself when I hear everyone complaining about the snow! It is just so off the charts beautiful, interesting, magical, cold, and at times even exciting! I figure if we are going to have winter we may as well have snow! Thanks for all your support Celeste! I may start sketching with my left hand!!! Thanks again! Michael
DeleteI'm SO sorry to hear about your shoulder Michael...More than likely it is from shoveling.! Every time I hear about Boston's weather I think of you!!! You really got blasted ...more than New York. We had heavy snow two days ago and as fast as it came ..that's how fast it left us...However, its been pretty cold! I NEED the Spring weather! I need to hear the birds chirping!!
ReplyDeleteFeel better!!!!
Thanks Hilda! I think you are right! Saw doctor the other day and that is what he said! Also playing high school and college football back in the day could have started the problem! I am on the mend and feeling a tiny bit better! Yippee. Finger painting with my left hand soon! Michael
DeleteHeal swift and heal strong, Michael so you can get back to painting. We need to see your energetic creations - they inspire us so!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Susan! Heal swift and strong is the way to go! I am already inspired by your very kind words! Thanks buddy! Hope to paint real soon! Miss it so much! Michael
DeleteSuperbe ! J'aime beaucoup ton travail !!!
ReplyDeleteTu peux venir me voir sur mon nouveau blog Merci
Cath.
Merci beaucoup Cath! Always so very nice to make a new art friend! Thank you for visiting and writing such nice words! Votre ami Michel!
DeleteSorry to hear about your shoulder. Hopefully the recovery will be quick when you can stop lifting the shovel. lol Take care, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan! No more shoveling! I think it was the roof raking that did it! Repetitive motion of using my shoulder to use the rake to "rake" the snow off the roof may have done the damage! Also getting a bit older doesn't help!!!! Thanks so much Joan! Michael
DeleteYou poor thing Michael!! I hope your shoulder heals very quickly. I can't believe how much snow you have had this winter - no wonder your shoulder was overworked on the end of the shovel! Hopefully beautiful spring weather will arrive very soon for you.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing photos of your crocuses emerging!
Look after yourself!
Your art cobber, Wendy
Thanks Wendy! No more raking snow off the roof for me!!! So much snow this year. Much of the snow is gone. I will miss it when spring comes but certainly not the shoulder pain! No signs of spring yet! As soon as I see anything even with the hint of growth I will photo and post! I did see a bit of the lawn the other day! The green grass almost looked surreal with mounds of white snow! I love your beach photos! Makes me look forward to spring and then summer! Thanks again Mate! Your USA Art Cobber! Miguel
DeleteBonjour cher ami,
ReplyDeleteJe vous envoie un petit rayon de soleil pour réchauffer votre épaule qui vous fait souffrir...
La semaine dernière, j'ai pu déjeuner dehors, les températures étaient très agréables... mais aujourd'hui le printemps est capricieux et je le soupçonne de flirter avec Dame Hiver !
❀ Gros bisous ❀
Merci Martine! I am on the mend and looking forward to painting more and some signs of spring!! Love your art and your blog my friend! Take care and again thank you! Your dear art friend, Michael
ReplyDeleteHi Michael, Sorry to read about your shoulder injury. May it heal quick and strong and you can return to painting again!
ReplyDeleteWell my friend as you know we are at polar opposites in weather. You guys get extreme winter and more snow than usual we get almost none, or rain either which we desperately needed. It's been like summer here lately. The seasons have essentially skipped over us!.
The two of us may have to solve this ourselves! I propose a Boston/LA Trade Agreement for next year. You are Boston's Ambassador after all!
You get too much rain or snow? ...you ship it to us to fill our reservoirs in exchange for sunshine and warmer temps which we send to you. We will have to work out the details but something like an exchange rate of every cubic ton of snow for an hour or so of sun. I mean if you have to shovel it anyway's why not shovel it into a crate! Don't yet know how to box up sun rays but we'll figure it out. We'll even remove the particulate matter for you and send only the best pure and wholesome rays.
In the meantime get healthy and,
Keep painting...
Hey David!
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy! My shoulder is now on the mend! Still some pain after cortisone shot but now I am able to sleep through the night! I did start some painting. Very slowly returning. Working on smaller works!
I am so very sorry about the horrible drought in your neck of the woods!!!! We see it on the news every night! I so hope you get some much needed rain! It must be so difficult! I imagine so many people are suffering! So sorry! I so wish we could send you some of our over the top amount of snow and rain!!!! As much as I love snow I think we can move on to spring! Forecast for some more snow on Easter!!!! No
Again, I wish so much rain for you in Southern California! Horrible!
I am on the mend and hope to post some work soon! I have been fooling around with iPad but not the same!
Take care David and thanks so much!
Michael Hoping For Water For CA!
Hi Michael. Haven't checked on you for a while. So sorry to hear that darn snow caused injury. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Spring like weather coming soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Thanks so much for stopping by! Thanks also for your kind words. Shoulder is still on the mend. Trying to do some painting! Ever so slowly getting back to art. Don't want to rush things and re-injure the shoulder! You are right about spring weather. This Sunday maybe in the high fifties, low sixties, and sunny!!! Yippee! Take care Susan!
ReplyDeleteMichael
Just want you to know that I am missing you, Michael, and hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteSusan, Thank you so much for thinking of me! So very nice of you! I am okay! Still nursing my shoulder! Not painting much lately but slowly on the mend and hopefully back at the easel soon!
DeleteYour On The Mend And Grateful Art Buddy!
Michael
