We had Chinese Buffet this week... and i just love the two dragon statues they have out front.. For a long time they had large fabric bows tied around each one that were faded and ratty looking . Just recently they finally took them off and you can see the statues in all they're glory!
Even before the rain arrived the Octatillo around town knew it was coming.. Normally they just look like brown sticks... But let there be a little moisture in the air... even just a rise in the humidity level and they let you know.. green leaves sprout and the most lovely orange flowers... I want to draw/paint my version of this ... stay tuned.. Right now i'm painting plates... show you next time.. Thank you for stopping by and if you leave a comment i double thank you!! :) Hugs! deb
Rainy days are the perfect days for creating. It's chilly this morning. I'm wearing sweatpants (no holes in the knees), tee shirt, and a Sherpa lined zip up hoodie (easy on easy off for hot flashes) and working on the idea for a new class to teach.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, We have lovely cooler days here as well-but alas I don't know when to stop working in the garden areas I was so proud I got so much accomplished again yesterday-buttttt my lower back was Not happy and is screaming at me so now I cannot get out there and do a few more things ugh.
ReplyDeletenot familiar with the Octatillo plant but I love it-is this a desert plant? Please show a photo when in full bloom
I did read yesterday in an email newsletter for the lake area that my city had two tornadoes with lots of damages-so thankful we got missed in my area.
Hugs from the lake
