A Quick Hello.......

....from the hinterlands. Thought I'd better check and see if Blogger still worked, if my blog was still functioning, yadda yadda.

Yep, that's ME after a dip in some really, REALLY red hair dye. (which I might add, is NOT permanent at all and annoying me now....)
Yes, you're right, I look like "Heat Mizer's" mother. If you don't know who that is, google him.....check images. You'll see the likeness! HA!
Oh well, I've always been known for my temper so it's appropriate.
I've not been at the computer due to the fact after surgery, I could not SIT at my desk chair, and can only do it in very short bursts now. A quick peck on the keys and back to the couch.
Have started my *after-surgery-chemo* so the Heat Mizer Do will probably be gone in 3-4 weeks, which is okay too. I welcome bald....
Life is moving slowly......it's a blur occasionally, mainly trying to keep appointments straight, etc.
I've missed everyone on the blogs, but for the moment, I'm just doing my best to take care of myself as I should (and DH of course) and go with the flow. My patience is diminishing, which I suppose means I am feeling a bit better.
Thanks so much for the comments, e-mails, cards and well wishes.
Y'all keep me going~~~FOR REAL!
Until I have something amusing to post, or art, or a different hair color.....I send love.

Flitting In.....

....For a quick Hello.
I've been sidelined with allergies, and when I haven't been walking with my head in a cloud, I've held my breath and ventured out for a few photos.
Things are blooming rapidly and then quickly disappearing~~I cannot believe the speed that we've moved to Summer, with the occasional cold night still.
I *thought* I would have the project done to post here that I had started the other day, but alas, damp weather and multiple layers of medium makes for slow drying.
Today I had to give in and let it sit.
It will be an interesting story though when I get it done, because everything....well....that's for another blog post.
Hope y'all are having warm days, soft breezes and beautiful flowers to succumb to their parfum.

(I am still having issues with Blogger not loading blogs or comment boxes~~please bear with me. I try and visit and comment, but this one has me stumped!)

Flitting In.....

Time flies when you're having fun, but when you're kind of out cold.....well....I feel I have neglected this blog forever.

Had a little *fly about* and am landing for a moment.

I actually have a bit of art to photograph when I am back to par; one piece is fighting me tooth and nail, the other is finished. That's just how it goes~~art has a mind of it's own, and YOU better not mind! LOL!
Down time has given me lots of time to think, write and mull my work, my direction and what, in general, makes me the happiest.
It also brought up that I *STILL* want a bottle tree in my yard and I have wanted a votive holder/kneeler from an old church FOR EVER and have not a clue where to begin the search.
Odd how these things pop in the head and circle and circle, never really leaving, just hiding a bit and reappearing when you least expect it. (I have no idea WHY it is I need these...I just do)
The bottle tree is manageable; the votive holder/kneeler is going to be a very very long shot.
In the meantime I am still trying my best to get back in one piece and hope that by next week I am going at full speed, damn the torpedoes again. Hey, I can dream!
So if you come across a church that really wants a GOOD HOME for an old votive candle stand......ummmm......point them my way, eh?
Til later, when all the brain cells are working and I have something amazing to post....

New Morning.....Light Through The Fog

(click to enlarge)

Only a small offering today friends.

I am better, and naturally, since I *had* to go out to haul garbage, the camera was in hand! It has been very cold in the morning with daytime temps rising almost to 80, so we are having beautiful fog that floats just above the land~~enough that is it beautiful to see and still safe to drive.

The camera I was using had a hard time trying to figure out what the fog was, as there was nothing to focus on. (hmmmm, I know that feeling!) Thus, this was about the best of the shots taken.

I love this time of year! Sick or well--and preferably the latter--every morning seems to present the opportunity for more beautiful color and skies that don't appear any other time of year.

Hoping you all are doing well.....

Pax....
