thanks to everyone who visited the casa within the past few days, especially all of the people that we weren't expecting! we had many new dinner guests tonight, outside of our regulars, and that was great!
i started an "open doorbell policy", that means if you ring the doorbell and i'm home, i'll let you in and give you tea. i think this is a good way to have strangers interrupt my paintings and give me new ideas. also, it's a way of having the city come to the casa, and building a network of warm places to thaw out from the cold.
