The storm is over

 The North wind has been blowing in, leaving us to cope with the cold without warning. 

We had a storm on Thursday night leading into Friday all day, which i have been becoming more and more fond of. I used to have severe anxiety attacks during the long nights of storms, I would stay up sitting in my sewing chair all night, by my children bedrooms, hoping the roof wouldn't fall in. We have had a few good storms since then, and each time they are becoming less scary.

The farm has been put into winter mode, and I have planted many turnip seeds and sweetheart cabbage seeds. We have still yet to unload the goat barn of lovely gold manure.

My art has been doing well, and I have sold a few paintings. 

A friend who helped me get noticed in Lisbon in an art shop, has loved my idea of painting birds on flat slate. The other day I painted an owl, and I'm currently finishing a big stone with a peacock on. 

It seems the peacock's are very desirable.

With the current state of the world sickness, it is unlikely I will be having an exhibition in Lisbon anytime soon, but in turn I have a space in an art shop for some of my work to have the chance of selling. 

It is big news for me, it would for any Artist. 

Finally my art is becoming more and more recognised, and  have many people to thank for this amazing opportunity.

I have put up a photograph of my latest owl.
