The Calm After the Storm


Greetings from the Adirondacks! I hope today finds you all live and well! ❤️ 🥰🤗

There's just something about the still of winter and peaceful calm after a storm that soothes my sometimes wary soul. I'm not sure precisely how much snow my neck of the woods, probably about a foot and we still have frigid temps.

Do I mind? Nope! I know that the bright, vibrant colors of spring are not too far off on the horizon. I take advantage of being homebound in the winter to be creative with my "indoor" crafts. When the weather is nice, I am outside in nature as often as I can be and that is when I am most creative with my photography. It helps that I also work at a garden center for going on my third year this year and I am looking forward to that! 🤗🥰

If you are like me and sort of yearning for warmer, colorful days and maybe having a bit of winter blues, I invite you to check out some of my favorite pics on Google Maps. 

Until next time, ciao for now! 

P.S. Feel free to like and comment to help me build my site, it would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Building from the ground up...again

      Greetings from the Adirondack tundra! Well, maybe not so tundra today being in the single digits, but we are in the throes of a two day storm. It's a great day to create which leads me to the topic of this post.      I used to have a Wordpress blog but hadn't been consistent with it and my blog is no more. Life happened and I found myself writing less, on my blog anyway. I still journal almost on the daily. I started that blog about ten years ago and a lot of memories were on that blog. I had always thought about getting my own domain because I would get distracted by the hubbub of the Wordpress blogs out there. I didn't want to pay and then not commit to it.      A few weeks ago, I came across a video on Ted Talk  from an artist that I have never heard of, Amie McNee. I'll be honest, the caption on the thumbnail caught my attention!     Aime got me to thinking of my blog posts of the past and that I should start blogging...

Groundhog's Day 2026

         It is Groundhog's Day, February 2nd as I sit down at my desk with a nice warm coffee on this -16 degree morning. No matter what Punxsutawney Phil has to say about it, I live in the Adirondacks and we have winter up here sometimes until April. It is a great day to create and that is exactly what I plan to do on this chilly day!          Chilly days being stuck inside in the winter don't really bother me. I always see it as an opportunity to create something and make productive use of my time that would otherwise be spent outside when it it more agreeable weather.          Over the course of this winter so far, I have been studying water color, which used to be one of my art nemesis. I have been wanting to come out of my creative comfort zone and learn something new far as art goes. I think part of the problem that I didn't like water color was, I never had proper paper. See, the thing with wat...

Introduction

GREETINGS!      Welcome to my blog, The Thought Gallery. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jennavive. I have been dabbling with blogging in the past, but have not in quite a while. I took the plunge yesterday and bought my own domain, so now I am locked in to actually USE my blog as my creative outlet.     What can I expect to read on your blog, you might be asking yourself? That's a good question! I am a person of many creative interests so I do not have any one specific niche or content to share. You can expect to see some beautiful nature pics, sardonic commentaries about everyday life, videos posted from my YouTube, poetry, arts and crafts and maybe the occasional recipe. I guess you could say, you never know what to expect here in The Thought Gallery. I plan to post at least once a week but definitely not limiting my number to that.     My site is under construction so please bear with me as I figure out how to customize my domain and make ...
