Day 5 Dream House

Day 5 - I didn't measure the snow this morning... I can tell you that when my pup Talon jumped off the last step, all but the end of his tail disappeared into fluffy white snow. I had to laugh at the sight of a red leash moving through the snow with 3 inches of a golden retriever tail following it. This little guy loves snow. Actually, we both do. Im one of those people who watches the weather report and hopes that the heaviest snowfall is right over my house. Today's total didn't disappoint and there is more on the way. While I was snow blowing the driveway, I noticed the old abandoned house across the road, was heavily blanketed in snow. The last few years have been rough on this old house and I think the old girl wont be standing for many more years. I cant help but think about what it must have looked like the year it was built... with that new lumber smell. Even though it is small, was it someones dream house? I had considered painting it last September during the last 30 in 30, but put it off. Today is it's day for a new coat of paint. "Dream House", 6" x 8" Oil on Gessobord. $175
