The Arkansas Blizzard of 2012

Now that we live here, Arkansas had their first Blizzard Warning announcement ever. Ever. It was the deepest snow in 86 years or something crazy like that. We always laugh and say Oh, no, it never really snows in Arkansas. 

Snow means Bonnie the dog is wearing shoes to protect her deliciate, furry little paws. 

This better not happen again for another 86 years.
It was really pretty the first morning but now it's just a cold icy-patched mess. 

A cool dude did donuts in this parking lot. 

Glad I saved some of my key winter items. 

Luckily, with the crazy way Arkansas weather works, it could turn around and be really warm any moment now. Any moment now, OK? 

My Flickr set of all my blizzard related photos is here. 

Snow-Blizzzard!!! Be Gone!!!

It just needs to become 80f and melt all this, then dry up the sidewalks & streets so that I can stop wearing these rubber boots!


I went to the Biennial show at the Whitney. There were 2 super-sad photography collections about burned people/persons. Made me cry a little bit.

However, this Mike Kelley stuffed animals extravaganza made me really happy. I need to start ADD to my crazy little critter collection so that when I have me a baby I can make it something like this.


This photo doesn't look as magical as it looks in person. It has shawls and all kinds of critters sewn together on afghans. Gorgeous. It goes with my baby blanket that serves as the design inspiration for my future baby's room... when I have a baby in 5 years. I can just hang on to it 'til then.

Oh.. The Snow-Blizzard. She's a B-I-C-H!
This is old news but it's very pretty.


And I like this snowman.

Yes, I took these pics. I took my "big girl" camera and could barely operate it. The snow was so bright!
Here's the view down Park Ave.
