Rain Rain Go Away……
The rain has started 12/14
All our animals want to go out to play!
Just about the time we think the rain is over, and the animals can get back to running in the yard, bam…here comes another shower. Not only do our animals not want to get wet, I don’t want to have to give everyone a bath because they have created a mud puddle that only a five-year old would dream of…..
Backyard
It looks like it’s drying up……..but it’s only a sucker hole!
Right side of yard
The sun is just starting to peek its lazy head over the top of the clouds… It wouldn’t hurt to dry up a little before getting more rain.
My husband tells me that the rain is over! We’ll see…
This is the last weekend before Christmas, and right in the middle of Chanukah, so any time the rain stops is good for me. We all need to get things done, please Old Man Weather, can you give us rain next week after Christmas?
The winds are picking up again, which to me this means we are in for another bout of rain. My wind chimes are going off like one of the big cathedrals in Europe during a celebration. I love the sound, and hope my neighbors are equally engaged in our chimes.

Thursdays Time Out For Art…
Copper on a 6″X6″ canvas
For a long while I was into aging everything in sight. I love the look of Copper once it has turned to green, and everything I could get my hands on seemed to have a green patina.
Copper & foil on a 6’X6″ canvas
This little painting I gave to my daughter-in-law for Christmas a couple of years ago. She spends some of her time Running, working out, and practicing Yoga. The symbol is copper, that I worked so hard to get just the right patina on. The figure was foil which I painted. This was truly art from the heart.
Painted Foil & Netting on a 6″X6″ Canvas
This little piece I created along with three or four others with the same tribal motif for my daughter, and her husband for the same Christmas.
That Christmas was a Christmas of art! I don’t usually give away my art, because the family & friends that may be recipients often have different ideas about their kind of art, and then feel obligated to hang my pieces somewhere in their homes. They don’t want to hurt my feelings, I don’t want my feelings to be hurt, and if your family can’t support you, who can……
My art sisters however, all love art for the sake of the creative process, and I can count on them to love whatever I create, and share! Each year at Christmas the five of us draw names, and create something special for whoever’s name I have drawn. Each month we always have a wonderful Diva day together, but Christmas is particularly special because each of us gets to take home a gift of true love for one another, and the creative process!
I feel truly blessed to have my art sisters, and my art friends. Their creative energy is amazing!
My creative process has been inspired lately in part by Zebra Designs & Destinations. I hope you will check out a different kind of art from Zebra, and maybe you to will be inspired.

The Little Gecko Without A Tail!
For several days after Crunch was brought home, he wasn’t eating or drinking water. After Thanksgiving Day after everyone holding him, talking to him, and passing him around from kid to kid and adult to adult, he was really stressed.
Finally Sage who works wonders with all animals, quietly sat with him, put a little food on his nose and placed him at the edge of his food dish. This seemed to be the trick that brought Crunch around to eating once again, and soon he started laping droplets of water off the leaves in his terrarium. Now Crunch is back on track!
