To blog or not to blog...that is the question.  My appologies to


Shakespeare, but I'm sure if he were alive today, he would be


blogging. 



This Friday and Saturday our Grainger County ARTS group will have the


2nd annual "Old Time Christmas" festival.  Last year's event was


well received and while we don't have the same feature publicity the


news media graciously gave us then, I expect it to be well attended.



Oil paintings of birds have been good for me and one of my feature


paintings for the holiday season is Winter Blues, a sweet little blue


bird, caught in an early snow storm.  I think it is rather


appropriate for this first post, as there is a chance for snow in the


forecast.
