I just can’t help myself, I am on the road again! Heading to the NW gathering of the Sisters on the Fly, in Long Beach, WA. The weather will be cool and cloudy but I will be at the ocean! YAY! Driftwood, bonfires, seashells, sand….sand in my toes, in my shoes, all over the trailer floor…..Oh, I just can’t wait!
Now don’t panic…it’s not what you think….no real road kill here…just a little surprise. The road kill here….that metal vase! What! you say….yes, I was walking in the woods, with my buddy, Dash.
We just walked upon some road kill…as simple as that. I picked it and now…I have a beautiful dented vase.
I am having more fun with my camera, less manipulation after the photo…I work to get it right….the first time.
My peonies are at their most beautiful state.
Can you believe this?
A glorious sunset, to add to the mix!
Mother Nature is amazing! Look at the matching spider!
When I was visiting my childhood girlfriend, Phyllis, recently (we hadn’t seen each other in 46 years), I got to make fused glass. Her husband, Wayne is a retired art teacher, and he conducts a play time with neighbors about once a month to make fused glass. I just happened to arrive on class day!
I found the vintage stand, that it is sitting on, at a garage sale recently. A perfect fit. This glass is 7” by 10”.
This one was done by Wayne and was a gift from both my dear friends.
Thanks for the art lesson, Wayne and Phyllis! It was a lot of fun.
Phyllis and I.
It was just the perfect late Spring day. I was hanging the clothes out on the line, when I felt a peace and happiness, that I haven’t felt in such a very long, long time.
Here I was, surrounded by the simple things in life.
The things that give peace and joy.
Things that make me smile…..don’t look at the weeds, I say.
And I don’t…
Forget the weeds of life, concentrate on the blooms…the simple things.
They are all around you!
So I took them inside….and held them close to my heart. It was a beautiful late Spring day…..
