Good job on the painting. I am sure g'ma and g'pa Dave's folks will appreciate the hand-painted thank you card. Now you need to paint a big one for my wall.
Ok, is it fair that some people are talented artists, talented photographers (that pic of Buttercup and the Kite is exquisite), talented writers...just talented. I guess so. I'm just happy I know where to find you...you talented lady. Where are we going next week?
Did you just paint that? I need to learn how to do water like you. Last week we were at both the beach and the mountains. I didn't want to come home. And it did rain.
Don't talk about rain or I will get a nervous breakdown ! It's still raining and cold over here if somebody talks about global warming I will kill him !
I love that painting! And yes, the Oregon coast is nice, isn't it? But I don't think I'd choose to live there- too many overcast days make me feel dreary. But I am overdue for a coastal visit! And I loved the little kite story below! :)
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of the make and model that
Early this moring I got a Sn@pch@t from my 13 year old granddaughter. A short video panarama of the students and the classroom in one of her 8th grade subjects. In that moment I regressed sixty years to the little rural six room school I attended. The chalk odor greeted my nose at the front entrance. The hallway seemed dark and wide from my childish perspective. The steam radiators clanked and hissed throughout the winter days. Sometimes wet gloves were set on them to dry, which reminded me of wet dog as the wool singed from the heat. What we called 'the cloackroom' was a large open ended closet that contained hooks for coats and a built in bench. As there was no cafeteria, the large closet also held our lunch boxes. So by the late afternoon the over-ripe banana peels and the left over peanut butter sandwiches were in a winning battle to offend the nostrils. I don't even need to mention the stinky boots and wet socks. But hey! The windows were push up to open

Where are we going next week?
I don't know if I could handle all the humidity near the beach. I thought it was terribly muggy today when we had 55% humidity!
Here's hugs for the day!!!!
And I loved the little kite story below! :)
But I'm not sure I could give up the mountains...sigh.
And Willowtree must be disappointed in his dog tooth. :-(
Have a good weekend, Pamela!
I'll pop in again for a visit.
Have you ever heard of Carolyn Blish? This scene is like some of her beach scenes...
