Barrie and her sixteen dog team near Rainy Pass on the Iditarod Trail, Alaska.***********************
Judi mentioned that the Iditarod Race starts today in Willow. I'm sure Barrie and I will follow it on the Internet. Although there are new ones every year, many of the mushers are familiar to Barrie.

I worked on a watercolor painting of a lantern hanging on old barn wood yesterday, and ended up putting it on the shower floor and spraying it very hard. I will paint something on the back of it. I did a small painting of barn wood a few months ago, and really liked it. Seems like when I try something larger, it never works as well.
I don't know why the time change is hard on me, because I have no set schedules and don't need to be anyplace at any particular time. But I don't like it.
The weather forecast says 70% chance of 3 to 5 inches of snow tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it.
My sister-in-law called this morning, and she said I just got much older! Well, so did they. Their oldest grandchild, Nicki, just had a baby girl. Nicki and Jordan live in Idaho. That makes Bill and Alice great-grandparents and me a great-great aunt. She says I am the oldest, because they have only one "great" in their title and I have two.
Teri, Nicki's mom, will be flying from Arkansas to Idaho the 18th to meet her first grandchild. Bet she can hardly wait!

Stunning photo of Barrie on Rainy Pass. My hat's off to anyone who takes a run at the Iditarod. Keep us updated on the race. JAM
I love the picture too. Did you get to go watch? That would be wonderful even in winter. I loved our family trip to Alaska. It was wonderful.
Sorry about your barnwood picture. Happens to us all. I'm glad I don't watercolor much, or I'd be washing them off all the time. With oil you just paint over it - gives it character I say.
Love, Lynn
