8-26-16 ~ Some Photography and My Weekly Art Posts


I am linking this shot taken today with Skywatch Friday.
The rains are coming tomorrow.
You all are continually reading my posts from where we live in Kerrs Creek.
 So, I just had to let see that we even rate an Interstate sign 
directing you to our neck of the woods.

Unfortunately, our man that cuts our lower 3 acres grass has been out of town for several weeks, so the grass was very, very high when he got here yesterday. This morning I went out barefooted to take some photos while the early morning shadows were so pretty, and I found myself in a not so good situation for someone with a horrible allergy to grasses. Well, I got the pictures but payed a high price sneezing, itching, and weezing all day long.I am linking this picture of my 77 year old ugly feet in the freshly cut grass with:

This is the old Model T shed here at the farm. 
This morning the shadows were just beautiful. 
 I am linking it with Shadow Shot Sunday 2.

My Etegami for the Week
Fall Is on Its Way



This is a picture I painted for Rose Swalls from Pics and Piecing. The two of us have become very dear friends and correspond daily. She has put up two posts about how Roger is doing, and it is such a heart breaker. There now appears to be more damage than they thought at first. But he is trying, and he is making progress. Please remember her and her beloved Roger, Sarah and Rachel their daughters, and their precious granddaughter, Lorelei, in your thoughts and prayers.


These are my latest paintings for 365 Days of Spirit Art Journaling
This undertaking is spooned by Nancy Baumiller at Art 2 Hearts
Day 8 ~ Gratitude

Day 10 ~ Clarity



The idea of the 'Woof Woof' correctly spelled words is not my own. I found them while doing a search of eye chart images on the internet, but it was my idea to use the red glasses (from Mischief Circus) and the misspelling of the words for the left eye. I was thinking about going to the eye doctor and not being able to see worth a hoot in that eye. My life needs 'clarity' all throughout it...not just with my eyes.

  5. Beautiful sky and I really enjoy your creativity. I don't follow any other artists blogs (only yours), so I don't know your friend, but I know she must have appreciated the beautiful flower arrangement you sent! That and the etagami are wonderful... And also I hope your sneezes and itches are better ... Bill has terrible grass allergies and that is the main reason why we like to be away from Oregon in the Spring, which is the worst season for pollen here.

  21. Genie, thank you for your comment on my Ferry picture. That looks like the Bainbridge Ferry because it IS the Bainbridge Ferry. We were on the Bremerton Ferry when I took the picture. We use to have friends who lived on Bainbridge Island, so I took that Ferry often, but they moved to Seattle now. It is a beautiful place. This is a perfect season to go visit your kids.

  22. How lovely, to find a blogger, who is 77!

    Since I am 79!

    Granted, we are a wee bit slower now... And also have some 'creaky' parts. But as long as we are still able to 'bop along'.. And wonder... And ponder... And learn...

    Well, this "olden" time is quite wonderful! I'm sure you would agree.

    Gentle hugs,
    Luna Crone
