This winter was quite short, as our central Texas February temperatures are in the 70s and 80s. I even saw some Mountain Laurel trees starting to bloom. I look forward to hiking at McKinney Falls State Park soon.

Impossible Sketches
When I was trying to teach myself how to draw, I bought several drawing books. I didn’t do much with most of them for a long time. Now that I’m taking drawing lessons and have learned a little bit, I’m returning to those books and trying out a few things. I drew these two sketches based on instructions from How to Draw Cool Stuff by Catherine V. Holmes.
The Impossible Triangle
I decided to try my watercolor pencils to shade the heart. I don’t really know how to use the watercolor pencils, but I read the instructions and took Nike’s advice: Just Do It. I made the heart into a Valentine’s Day card for hubby.

On one corner of the square in Burnet , Texas, is the old Burnet County Jail with a statue of Wallace Riddell, Texas’ longest serving sheriff. He served 39 years, 1 month, 11 days (1939-1978).
Hamilton Creek
I drove up to Burnet, Texas, and had lunch with Steve. He was nice enough to drive me around, showing me a few tourist-y things.
