February - The Month of Love

I can't believe it is February already! The year seems to be flying by.

February is the month of Love and I have been making hearts. I read an interesting article that said the heart was originally the symbol for life. Only recently has it been associated with love. I like that better so I have decided my hearts represent the "love of life".

The last several months have been very cold here on Valley Creek but I rather like it when I remember the dreadfully hot days of summer. We are also getting some much needed rain which creates less than desirable mud! It is good for farmers crops and my beloved wildflowers.

With the cold and the wet it makes it difficult to convince myself I need to be in the studio. Even more difficult to get the studio warm enough to melt glass. To satisfy the creative desires, I have been doing more metal work. I need to be creative and hammering metal is good for any frustration that might be hanging around.
