Spring Snow?

It's March 23, and we've had another snowfall. Ten centimeters has fallen since late afternoon yesterday, and it's still snowing with an expected ten more centimeters.

A couple of rainfalls last week finally got rid of the snow mountains. And now we need to look at snow again. Good grief. I think Old Man Winter lost the memo that it's Spring on the Atlantic Coast.

I wanted to take a photograph of the snow, but a large dog photo-bombed the picture, lol. Beyond that big head, the trees are covered in snow as are the roads. While Rambler doesn't like the cold, he loves playing in snow. We were already outside, but he wants to go play again.

Just say NO to SNOW.

Did You Know - Cartoon Characters

On the occasional Friday, I thought about posting something about myself. But only if I can think of a some interesting things, lol.

So, for my first Did You Know, I chose the topic Cartoon Characters.
My favourite cartoon character is Snoopy! Why? Well, for a few reasons.
1. My love of dogs. 2. I was hooked on the Charlie Brown cartoon clips in the newspapers. 3. In my teens I learned how to draw Snoopy's head, and eventually as my drawing skills got better, I was able to draw his whole body.

I sketched the below picture several years ago.

And I have a collection of mugs and pins...all gifts from my daughter.
