Another Cold Winter Day

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Once again, the Nashville weather is about to strike. I was able to get out on my bicycle for a nice ride in sunshine Saturday afternoon, and now we are supposed to get an ice storm tonight. I suppose the good news is the weather here is…
