Weekend wonderland...

Snow sitting waiting for the Sun to melt it...although little does it know that the Sun is not rising over the hedge until probably the New Year...this was one of the coldest and brightest days since arriving in the UK...I think that the snow had a HUGE part to play with it being the brightest.

crisp white snow...untouched, untrodden...the Sun is low...the shadows long...
Happy 65th Dad!
I think our little girls and niece enjoyed the fact that it was a birthday more than anyone...these are images I treasure in my heart and mind.
We had finished a wonderful Lobster with salad dinner...and Champagne for drinks...no-one switched to red or white wine...
Ended the dinner with Birthday Cake...actually the same one that I made earlier in the week...cooked it for 10 minutes less...and it was divine with honeycomb vanilla ice-cream.
I opened my moleskin today(yes it's green) and sketched Little Miss A...must get my eyes or my camera checked out because I am noticing a slant to the right with many of the drawings I photograph...or perhaps I just need to wear my glasses?...lol...
my parents live in a Log House...and the heating is all under-floor heating...I can not tell you how cozy BUT how dry it is...this is my hand...dry and looking rather warn.
I was wondering (as you do)...because I have only noticed this on a few people and they are usually either artists or do something creative in their lives...
Look at your hand...is your index finger substantially longer than your ring finger? And does this mean anything?
Have a wonderful weekend.
HUGS
Char,On.
P.S. Tam, thanks again for coming down last week...did you get home ok?

when your ring finger is longer than middle it means you have more female hormones..Dr Oz Says so...mine is lower and my hubs is longer..when I told him he got mad...LoL..!!

My fingers are the opposite, which explains my lack of artistic ability! :0)

Happy Birthday to your dad!!!

Hum, my index finger is much longer...though I'm not a very good artist...but am taking Suzi Blu's class this Jan, so hopefully that will change. But I've been artistic my whole life, beginning with dance, then flowers, now jewelry and painting!
Have a happy Holiday!!
Hugs,
Kelly

Yes there is something biological to having the ring finger longer/shorter than the index. If only I can remember what I was told in university ages ago, haha!

Thanks, Charlotte, for stopping by my blog and saying Hi. I appreciate you coming by!
