Here is this year's Christmas card from Elaine and Murray, featuring a new painting by Elaine. We were thunderstruck when we opened the envelope at the beauty of the painting (as well as the subject matter).

The weird weather continues. Warm and wet. Fifty-seven degrees with rain, sometimes heavy. Wind warning in effect this evening, and heavy thunderstorm warning for tomorrow morning. Poor Santa! How is he coping with all this global warming garbage?
