Everyone has their favorite artist, some artist that they connect to in their heart. Some people adore Monet for his colors, some love Van Gogh for his vitality, and some might love Picasso just because they know of no other artist.

Winter Wonderland
Just when I thought winter was nearing its end, a big storm came through and dumped a bunch of snow. I took an hour and half drive north and took some pretty pictures.

I used to want to be an urban farmer. Heck. I just told a lie. I still want to be an urban farmer, but the reality that I live in a desert has finally set in.
