Happy Easter and Passover and Next Week's Agenda


 Happy Easter and Happy Passover (Chag Sameach!) to everyone.  I hope that your day is joyful. 
We will celebrate Easter at my son's house.  I hope that the day is rain free for those who are having an Easter egg hunt.  I can remember an Easter egg hunt when my son was three and it was so cold that the kids were dressed in snow suits and boots.

This next week's agenda is looking like it will be indoor projects, no outdoor painting, and maybe some table saw painting and assembling.  The weather looks to be rainy and cold with the possibility of snow.  I'm trying not to be too bummed out about the weather because the forecasting has not been too accurate as of late. 

The final parts have arrived for the table saw.  I think we will try and spray paint the table saw housing while it is in the workroom.  Not ideal but if I buy some plastic sheets to cover the surrounding area we might actually be able to pull this off without too much of a mess. Then we can start to put it back together.  I bought an accessory kit off of eBay but that is not needed to put the saw back together.
On Monday it is suppose to be cold but no rain so the rotting sill project can get some more attention and I can rake some more hosta beds.

If it does rain on Tuesday we will mask off the table saw in preparation for spraying painting the housing.

Wednesday is another rainy/snowy day and we can spray paint and maybe rummage through the scrap pile for wood for my secret project.

Thursday and Friday are cold days but no precipitation so the raking and window sill work will continue. 
I can't remember a time when I have been so frustrated to start work and cannot because of the weather.  Could it be that for once I am organized and I have to wait on the weather?  In the past it was a case of nice weather but not prepared.  I don't know which is worse.

Easter themed painting

I purchased this oil painting because I immediately liked it. It was only after I owned the painting and had it on the wall that I noticed so much more.I've learned over the years that some art work is meant to be viewed at a close range and others from a distance. This is one that needs to be viewed from a far.

This photo does not do this painting justice. Up close the details are completely gone and from a distance there is far more detail than what is showing up in the photo. Also the true colors are not coming through either.

I was told the artist's name when I purchased the painting but I did not write it down. It is signed with stylized initials and the numbers'38, indicating 1938. At a later date, I plan on cataloging my artwork and at that time I'll investigate the artist's name. But in the meantime if anyone recognizes the initials, I would be grateful for the insight.Happy Easter everyone.
