A Splurge

We went to a lovely resturant that has opened in the past year.
While new it looks like it has been stretched along that lake for a 100 years. 
There are cozy places along the way to relax. 
Every little detail has been seen to. 
It is a hotel,spa,resort, and resturant. 
********************
I have been painting a bit. Still very much learning. 
The weather has been getting warmer and the frost is coming out of the ground making some roads a ruff ride.
    ***************
Some beautiful weather coming in for the next few days. Mud season all around.  The snow is melting fast but March is fickle there is more snow to come I am sure.
    Have a wonderful week!

It’s good to splurge every once in a while!
Fun painting. And so true. We must never give up!

Mud season is disliked by all. That restaurant looks very cozy!! I hope the food was good.

Our weather is similar. Rain but snow a few days away.

Oh I love your snail to pieces…and really need to try to convince myself of that - especially of late. We had some moderate temps last week…but cold is moving back in and there is snow in the forecast from Tuesday to the weekend. I hope I make it home before then. Funny sign…roads here are so wretched.

Hello! I have been missing some of your posts, but it's good to be back and check in with you. That restaurant looks lovely. You are doing a good job with your painting, and I love the quote about never giving up! Have a good week and we will see you again soon!

That restaurant/ hotel/ spa looked wonderful. Hope the food was as good. Your snail turned out so cute. Keep it up and you will be a Picasso in no time. Janice

I used to oil paint but gave that up as I did several other crafts. Wonder what I'll take up if I quit rug hooking???? Temps here just reached 72 and is warmer outside than inside my house. Am sure this won't last long tho too much to hope for that spring has sprung.

The frost heaves around here are terrible. And yes, warm temps are melting the snow.

Jeanie said...

That restaurant looks terrific. And yes, definitely mud season! But it will pass!

Looks like a charming restaurant. It's always nice to find a restaurant that has delicious food so we can treat ourselves from time to time. Your painting is sweet, and I love the words. It's been sunny here, but I don't think winter is over. Forecast says rain and snow in March.

What a great idea for the restaurant. I am ready to be done with ice season.

Julia said...

That restaurant looks like a nice place to relax and the bump sign is too funny.

I love your snail painting. It looks like an illustration for a book.

Hang in there, the Spring Robins have returned to our yard. Spring isn't very far behind.

Hugs, Julia

That looks like a nice place to eat for a special dinner, love the decor. Your snail painting is fun and I do find it relaxing, even if I am an amateur.
