Let's talk all things Murdaugh. I love watching court trials. I've been hooked on the Alex Murdaugh investigation and trial for the past 5 weeks. Today starts week six and I'm hoping it goes to the jury before the weekend.
I went into this trying to stay neutral and see what happened. I went from guilty to not guilty to guilty but he didn't shoot them. I couldn't make up my mind.
After watching him on the stand I feel he is guilty.
The way he called the victims with really personal nicknames was really odd to me. We all have nicknames for loved ones but in public? No. It felt disrespectful and made up to me.
The thing that really tipped me over the edge was finding out about the badge, the gun and the blue cop lights on his company vehicle. That tripped my murderer meter. That's creepy stuff. Pretending to be more powerful than you really are in this way makes me think sociopath.
He lies about the lies he has told.
Here's what I think happened. I think he knew everything was starting to crash down with the stolen money. I think he knew that Paul was going to go to prison for the boat wreck and Mallorie's death. It was going to cost him a LOT of money that he didn't have. I think Paul and Maggie had been on him about finding his drugs and maybe even destroyed them. I think Paul had left the guns in the golf cart that Alex was driving. I think that there were words exchanged about the drugs and he shot Paul twice and as Maggie was trying to get away he shot her 7 times as well. I believe he was on the golf cart the whole time. He took the hose and cleaned the golf cart and the majority of it off him. He went back to the house, showered, changed clothes. I think he hid the guns and clothes in his house or somewhere at his mom's house. Maybe down a well or in one of the sheds. Nothing was searched at Alameda for weeks or months.
I just feel that he can lie, cheat, steal, and manipulate so easily. Clearly only thinks about himself and what he needs.
I think he is guilty at this point. I am anxious to hear the next few days testimonies and closing arguments.
What do you think?

This past week was a doozy. About 20" of snow on top of a few inches of snow and ice we already had. It was just a big mess. In the city we have to move our cars from one side to the other on Snow emergency days so that the snow plow can go through. I dug out both cars (one twice! thank you snow plow) Had to shovel sidewalks and a path for the dog and a path to the chicken coop.. My husband injured his rotator cuff last weekend on the ice, so he couldn't shovel this time. It was not that hard, however you might have heard me cussing a lot. 😁

I have lived in Minnesota through 17ish winters now and I have a couple of tips about shoveling snow.
1. Don't dress too warm while shoveling. You will soon start sweating and wishing you have on less layers.
2. Do not keep things inside your pockets while shoveling. Keys, for instance, can fall out and it is like trying to find a child's toy in playground sandbox. Except it's snow and cold. Heed my warning.

It's almost March! One month closer to spring.

So this is my beautiful Thanksgiving cactus. Last Fall, one half of it bloomed. Now in February the other half is blooming. I pretend like I have a green thumb most of the time so this is something I have not seen before. Did I do something wrong? Did I do something right? Is this just a magical, don't tell me what to do cactus? 🤩🤩
I sure do enjoy her beautiful blooms.

Happy Monday!?! I hope your week is starting off well!
I started painting these little Story stones this winter as a way to boost my creativity. Painting small things is tricky but I found it really satisfying.
Story stones are great for kid's imaginary play and for story telling.
They come in their own little bag, easy to slip in a pocket or purse for times when quiet play is needed.
Some of the rocks are pretty small, about the size of a quarter. So these are NOT for children who put things in their mouths, unless they are closely monitored.
If you would like a set or maybe a custom set, message me! These sets are $20 (postage in the U.S. is included.)

I had such a good time leading a group of ladies in making 4 different Valentines. We were at Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis and if you haven't been there it is just a really cool place. Definitely stop in there and check it out. Hoping to have some painting classes there soon!

I found a discarded clock and I loved the outside metal frame. So i took it apart, removed the clock parts and painted on the glass. The abstract flowers I painted with a straw.
