I found a beautiful icicle today and brought it to Maria, she loves beautiful objects like that. Later, she went to lunch and brought home a piece of chocolate for herself. When I went outside, I found a little shrine, she put the icicle in a candle holder and the chocolate in a small dish.

I asked her what this was, she said it was a Love Shrine. I think I get it, but am not sure. Living with an artist is exciting, stimulating and unpredictable. She sees the world in a unique an fascinating way. The Love Shrine is outside in the snow and ice.
