spring fever

I'm have a touch of spring fever. We are buckling down here for a big storm in northern Ca. I wanted to get a picture of this brilliant colored purple iris before the hard rain hits. I hope you all are doing well. Please stop by and say hi!

Me and Lucy Bean

Meet "Lucy Bean". The newest member of my family. This sweet little Boston Terrier girl was born on 12/22/2009. I think that she must be planning on the next doggie Olympics cause she was sure working out at 3:45 am this morning.

I love Lucy!

I couldn't resist

the colors in this beautiful card sent to me by a beautiful person. I just had to frame it. Inside the card depicts the inspirational story of Sherida who began selling tomatoes in 1995 for her family's basic needs.

She received a small loan from an organization called FINCA that offered loans to women in her area. With that loan she was able to purchase spare bicycle parts, and seeds to expand her business. Now she is able to set aside some savings even after paying for schooling for her children.

Sometimes a little help can make a big difference.

Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday season!

a splash for sis

Painting 9" x 12" with 16" x 20" frame.

I painted this as a house warming gift for my sister. Hard to see on line, but I added a touch of silver leafing foil to this. Against her mossy green walls, presents this quite nicely.

tickled pink!
