A Day At The Lake...








Yesterday was a beautiful day for a walk around the lake, which is about a mile from home. I grabbed my camera at the last minute and I'm so glad I did! My little guy had to bring his easter eggs along. He played with those all day. Saying "ut oh" every time they came apart, or when he made them come apart so you would fix them. We didn't know there were so many geese, ducks, turtles & birds there. It feels so good to get outside, surrounded by nature & sunshine after a long winter.

It's Beautiful...

outside today. The trees and shrubs have all burst into bloom. I had to grab my camera and snap a few pictures of how spring has sprung in my front yard!

Faux Pho...

This was dinner last night. I made this in minutes while working on my blog. Do you like the fresh new look? This bowl of soup is much bigger than it looks, it fed 3 of us. I placed the big bowl on platter in the center of the table and the guys & I dived in. Dishing up the broth that was brighten up with lime, digging the saifun noodles out of the bottom, peeling the shrimp, slurping the crab. We were covered in it and it was so good!

It's Chilly


Cold & grey. Hot & red. I'm loving it.

Big shout out goes to Irina's Photos for including my painting in her Etsy Treasury of favorites!

Wild Turkey!

No, it's not what you think, nothing bottled! This past week we have had a mother turkey & 5 of her babies showing up in the yard several times. The amazing thing is the dogs don't even bark or go out there. The babies are so cute. They move so fast that it's hard to get a picture or even get a picture of all of them in the same frame. Some of the backyard, (I call it the "north 40") isn't landscaped, just left natural, and it looks as though they are eating the dried sticker grass. Hope they come back and eat it all!

Apologies to my Entrecard friends for not dropping much this week. My hubby spent days working on the computer due to a nasty virus that we picked up. I am still able to do a few things but we still aren't quite sure if we have it fully taken care of. It was after dropping on a Entrecard blog that had several pop-ups that the problem began. I didn't think pop-ups were allowed but have seen several sites that have them lately. I also have been running into blogs where the page keeps loading and loading until my computer shuts down. Some I will click on & they won't open up. Anyone else having these problems?

Today I am mailing off 2 Beach Angel Originals that sold. I am working on another but having trouble being satisfied with her. I think I've changed the background 4 times now. I won't list her until I like her. It's kind of sad shipping off these angels. I've grown very attached to them, however, I know they are going to a good home. After mailing I'm off to babysit my little Doodle bug. It's going to be a fun afternoon!

Creek & Creeky

Yesterday my hubby & I took a walk down by the creek. The creek is about 5 houses down the street from my house. I really should go walking down there more often. It was so pretty & relaxing. Towards the far end where the waterfall & dam is I almost felt like I was in an episode of Lost! hahaha *already missing that show* I don't know what kind of trees these are but I think they are beautiful. They look like bottle brushes. I took my camera with me and managed to get these pictures before twisting my ankle! I have been such a klutz lately! Maybe I'm getting old & creeky! LOL I shook it off & kept on walking, it wasn't until later that it started throbbing. It's definitely a sprain. So last night was very uncomfortable and I had to hobble around, up & down the stairs. I put ice on it & soaked it. It's better today but still sore. I'm going to try to stay off of it but with all the stairs in my house it's kind of hard to do.

While we were down there I checked on those painted rocks (guirella art) I had place around and they were all gone but one! They didn't last long. I hope the person or persons who took them are enjoying them! I may paint some more to take down there but paint them on bigger rocks.

Hell's Kitchen?


Nope that's mine! I had a bad day yesterday. I was feeling rotten when I got up and it didn't get any better. Luckily the cabinets aren't burnt. We have to repaint the ceilings and replace the bubbly burned microwave. On the bright side I found some cobwebs in the living room I didn't know I had because they turned black from all the smoke. haha My sweety cleaned out the vents, vaccuumed and washed the ceilings for me and wasn't mad, he was just glad I was ok. Awwww

Tags and Thank You's

I was tagged by Ramblin Mama at Random Splashes of Thought! In this tag, you must post the 4th picture file on your computer and blog about it. You then tag 4 others to follow suit. When I came to the 4th single picture, skipping the folders of photos, it was this one. I hollered out "Hey Honey I have to put your skinny white chicken legs and super sexy slippers on my blog!" My husband hollered back "Ok I don't care" and then didn't even ask me what I was doing! hahaha I did tell him later. He took this picture with his cell phone then sent it to me via email when I was working in Denver for a couple of weeks year before last. The picture was suppose to make me jealous he had both poodles loving on him and not me! hahaha So here are the people I am tagging... Be sure to check out their blogs! I can't wait to see their pictures. John Wright Art, Cris Melo Art, Hayley Judith Egan and Teri Rees Wang.

A couple of big shout outs & Thank You's go to Carry The Word for featuring one of my angels in her Etsy Treasury. Check it out here and her shop here! And BusyBeads for including me in her colorful Treasury. Check it out here and her shop here!

I have to get out and go to the printer today and I will be painting later. It's a nice rainy day today. This week I am going to put together some of my originals and list them for sale. I think I am going to list them somewhere other than Etsy or Ebay, give a new site a try. I was trying to build up an inventory of originals for a possible gallery show and honestly some I haven't sold just because I love them and couldn't part with them yet, but they are piling up.
