A little green snake made a visit.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement.  Did I see something move?  Yes, I did.  There, just at the floorboard under the heater.  Movement.  Then it was gone.  I waited.  After a bit I saw it again.  I waited patiently for quite a while.  Slowly, slowly a head and a long slender green body made an appearance.  Mr. O’Malley was in the house.

After some effort, I was able to relocate Mr. O’Malley to the great outdoors.  Everyone lived happily ever after.

Some other visitors we have enjoyed.  So many rabbits this year.

 

 

A few deer that did not want their photo taken.

Pink flowers made my heart beyond happy these past few months.  Actually, I’ve noticed that suddenly I have an obsession with the color pink.

 

 

I painted moody pink and purple skies and pink meadows.

Watching That Cat sleep is a past time all in itself.

 

 

 

 

I’ve been working on these two pieces in my last two vlog episodes, I’m still not sure where they are going.  Sometimes it just takes awhile to figure it all out.  So, I just keep adding layers.

 

 

 

Working on downsizing and the monumental task of going through my many collections has my head spinning.  Trying to decide to have yard sales, auctions, or estate sales?  It is way too much.

A few inconsequential trinkets from my childhood are found as I dig through the boxes, bags and totes full of collections, memories of my childhood and 30 plus years of living in this house.

Our family tea baskets.  Mom made tea for my dad every single day using these.  That tube of glitter, mom used when she taught us how to make homemade Christmas ornaments.  So many memories associated with these things.  It’s really hard to let go of them.

 

With so much other going on in our lives this year, we didn’t put in a garden and that’s the first time ever in over 30 years.  It was heartbreaking to let that go.  No extra flowers to give to cancer patients or vegetables to can or give away.  We have had a successful batch of basil growing though.  Wonderful neighbors have brought goodness from their gardens, including lots of tomatoes.

 A little bit of kitchen time and painting and visiting with Frida the chick in this weeks video.

 

 

 

 

I will see you later.  Happy Sunday all.
