Punkin Month

Hey Octoboo, it's me. You and I go way back, wanna attempt another 31 together? You provide the inspiration with all your unending beauty, and I'll take it from there.

In other words, you do you and I'll do me.

Thanks, old friend. 

Me 1/31

So stop

You are so much more than the negative thoughts in your head.

Salted White Chocolate

Got it on the brain since I just ate a couple Sanders Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels from Costco. Gotta admit, it may have been more than a couple.

Leave plenty of room in your garden for the fairies to dance.

Too Much Ice Cream

Ducky's dilemma. I can relate, hate it when that happens. Ducky put on a few knowing that her Carnaval cruise was coming up and now has to 'hit the gym', rain or shine. Bikinis don't lie.

Pinecone Pattern

"Patterns don't lie; and at the center of every pattern is YOU." Would that be the same as, wherever you go, there you are?

Fire

Not sure of the cause but this one started right across I-5 from where we stayed overnight in Grants Pass. We had wondered if we'd be evacuated but, nope. By next morning it was out.

Saw actual flames all along the rims of several hills on another fire in the Reno area. Didn't look like they were even fighting that one anymore.

Boarded Up

just something that caught my eye.

Car Art

Can't Talk Right Now

I'm in the middle of a live stream. Technically, i guess its called a flash flood but.. =)

Waffle Cravings

Boil white potatoes. When done, transfer to an already HOT waffle iron. Put a bunch of shredded cheese on top. Squish and wait for goodness to develop! Add toppings. That was yummy!

Epic Storm

Another spontaneous waterfall... 

We've seen this happen before, but yesterday's 20-minute monsoon storm was definitely one for the books. Forty-foot rivers ran across the property headed for the canyon. All is calm this morning.. like nothing happened. The sun is shining bright as usual but there will be a monsoon repeat this afternoon. Afterall, tis the season. Yay for solar, everyone in town is without power today LOL, not us!

Deluge!

Ohmygoodness! It's a'stormin'! After the major part of the downpour, I dodged rain, lingering thunder and lightning strikes to show you the amazing spontaneous waterfall just steps from our deck. Oh my! Now I'm soaked!

Added later: I was stuck in the hospital with a medical issue on Father's Day, but he was looking through my artwork book at home and discovered this on his own. It's not much but he loved it!
