October 21st!!!! The First Day of SNOW????

October Snow???

This picture is taken from the door way on the back deck!!

Last year on this day it was 26*c today 2008 SNOW????UGH!!!!

I know I sure wasn't ready for this!!

I'm still wearing open toed sandles!!LOL

It was raining when I left for my painting class,

and as we drove north it got more and more snowy!!

When I got back home at 12:30pm we were covered in snow too!!

Oh well!! It is coming!!Ugh

On a more fun note I did start going to a painting class on Tuesdays!!

It is a water colour painting class and it cost a wopping $3 a class!!LOL

One of my friends mentioned that she goes every week and when she found out I paint she asked me to come along!! We will take turns driving as it is a 1/2hr away!!

This Class is held at a Legion and there is a teacher, she brings in a suject to paint or you can work on what ever you want!!

I took a picture of an elk to paint for DH and the camp!!

They don't hunt elk,

but I liked that it looked pretty easy for me!!LOL

I took lessons a few years back and picked up my brushes again this summer!!

There was about 12 ladies there and 2 men come and they Draw!!

I think the money goes to the legion, not to the teacher!!

Everyone was very nice and willing to help!!

It's nice sitting and creating with like minded people!!

I need to be better prepared for next week!!

I didn't know what to bring this first week!!

When I took lessons before every thing was there for us, meaning water containers, paper towels and such. I guess for $3 I should have clued in!!LOL

I will set up a bag of my needs for next week!!

Well I just got back from the UCW meeting and we discussed the craft show for this weekend!!
