Nov 6/09 7:42am
After midnight I turned off the inside lights and turned on the outside lights and sat down and enjoyed
the huge snowflakes...the first snow fall.
Last year I painted the first snow fall, after the first snow fall, well, I actually didnt paint it,
my muses painted it and as I say, I couldnt paint like that no matter how hard I tried. It always snows
before my birthday.
The weather is 10 to 15 cm of snow, lots of rain and wind...so I decided to post some news in the event
the power and or the telephone lines come down, like they did last week, well, the power didnt go off but the telie lines
were down.
That anxious static ball of purring fur wanted out this morning until I opened the door and then he backed
up. lol
The new outdoor light woke me up several times last night as my body sensed the light as it was coming on
brightly and then dimmed until it finally turned itself off. Complaining is good for you! lol It gets it out of
your system. An art friend complains all the time.(always smiling).....and she looks and acts like a 40 year old.If she
is reading this she knows I feel this way about her.
So what to do today, clean up.........that needs to happen. lol I will
make some power carrot juice. I will have to disguise it in order for Mr. Man to drink
it, I will add apples and fresh ginger and put it in a colored hot tub glass, so that he doesnt see what color it is.
lol
Humm...it seems like a comfort food day......like stew or pot roast, biscuits, ..let me know if you are
cooking them??? lol
The Secret painting is going to turn into?????? I have some paint in small tubes which are drying
up so I will put the paint on the secret painting...the secret will be there is a secret under the repainted canvas.
Next year I am painting a mural on the wall where it hangs. I read yesterday that Matisse would lay in bed and draw
on the walls with charcol on the end of a cane...good thing I didnt hook up with a man like that. lol Talking about men, yesterday
I got a kiss and a hug from a strange man, well, he isnt a strange man to us..lol..and I said to Mr. Man he kissed me right
here, pointing to my right cheek, make that my face cheek...lol and then I said and you know what, "I liked it"!!!! lol
He laughed, not the kisser, Mr. Man. Now I said you can kiss me on the other side so I can have a matched
pair. lol
My feet are soon turning into wheels so there may not be any news for quite sometime unless the house
sitters take over for me. lol
Nov 5/09 9:29pm there is moisture in the air, not snow..the temp. went from 2 to 3 and now back to 2. The
storm could go either way, rain or snow.
We went to town twice today. We got pretty. Janet always manages to sell me a new hair care product I can't
be without. lol
I picked up my prints and cards and I am disappointed with the results.
We got a new outside light and Frankie sets it off when he sits in the window!!
I didnt do art today...that's different.
We went to the GARC meeting tonight. VE1ICY hit a deer on her way to the meeting. Her van has a few dings
and the deer does as well..she tired to find it but it must have run off into the woods.
Nov 4/09 4:45pm it was a nice day ..but cold on the hands, one needed gloves or mitts while outdoors. I
put fir boughs over Frankies outside bathroom. I wanted to cover all the newly planted tulip bulbs.
DS brought back the staging he had used during the building of his shed. He took Mr. Lonely, home to A..the
only fish in a tiny aquarium. lol
I painted this morning, I find it hard to pass a paintbrush without picking it up. I even put
some finishing touches on the belly dancer...but she is still not finished. I haven't done anymore
painting to the Secret..which was once finished and then I decided there were parts to the painting I didn't like...so I coverd
them with greenish paint. I think the sitters would like to have it finished in some fashion.I will do that tomorrow or tonight;
hard to do it tonight as Mr. Man lays on the sofa and the painting hangs over it. lol
We get pretty tomorrow. A storm arrives on Friday.
Time to thaw out freezer burn for supper.
Nov 3/09 rain, overcast, it is another take your Vitamin D day!
Dr. Oz in a recent program expressed the need for couples to talk to each other, not about things but to
each other about each other. Mr. Man said he has already done it once for this year. lol He hugs me everyday,
well, I force him into it, it is sort of a hugabuse type of situation. I force him to hug me and I won't let go
until I count off 20 seconds and at the same time he trys to stand on my toes..lol ...today as he tried
to step on my toes I ran the computer chair over his bare toes. lol
Franks has been in and out; he hates the rain so he doesn't go far.
This morning, I painted the Florida sunshine for an art mail out this week.
Back to art.... the art of being lazy. lol
Nov 2, 2009 Happy Full Moon! 8:23pm . Hurricane Bill the 2nd roared thru here Sat night and blew down a
power line which burnt the telephone line. I called the telie co. at 11pm Sat night , twice on Sunday and they finally fixed
it today around 2pm. We had electricity. We didnt have any kids on Halloween night but then how would we know we werent home..we
visited my sister ...to see their front veranda decorations, which was done in fine style..people were stopping to take pics.
How they weather was been great.
Today we went to townie and did a variety of things. I took Blue Gold to Pasta Jaxs along with a a painting
of Huestis Beach...brought home the old sheds of Wilmot ptng .
Yesterday I went to ArtsPlace for the opening of the Identity show..........while Mr. Ham Radio did the
some of the monitoring of the St. Andrews run..along with the rest of the Hams.
Today I gave the juice extractor a work out....I should be turning orange from drinking carrot juice.
I wanted to make sure it is in good working order for our house sitters while we are away.
They are vegetarians...and they juice.This week is committed to cleaning and moving stuff about for them. They
are disappointed we shut down the hottub but we didnt want to them to have to deal with any maintenance calls but they are
happy to have the jet air tub..and are happy about the 15 cords of wood for the wood stove. lol They have 2 dogs, a puff ball
which looks like a furry socker ball and Rockie....a big ???? all teeth and claws...both came from the SPCA. They assured
me Rockie would spend his nights in the garage. Rockie is very protective and I am scared of him, of course he knows it. Franks
doesnt care for him either. They have been instructed to not let them run freely.
Peter told me today that their 6 foot plus, 210 lbs. healthy athlete son came down with H1N1; without
any warning he came down with a 103F delirious fever in the middle of the night. His pregnant wife packed
up their toddler and drove to the Valley in the middle of the night. while her husband called 911.She has since been
vaccinated along with their toddler.
Many parents with toddlers were lined up outside the Baptist Church Hall (vaccination clinic) today
in Middleton.
Many have asked me about art for 7 days which is due right now,
