Taos Mountain in Winter

Some Wintry photos for you. I have the next 3 glorious days off and will be spending it, cleaning and decorating and getting the few gifts I have to send wrapped and cards made out. I do wish there was some time for art, but there is not, so I will make do.

I best get busy :-).

Have a wonderful Saturday! XOXO

Ravens

This is for all of you who love ravens as much as I do. This field was full of them last week as were the trees, my camera could not take in all of them, but this give you an idea of how many there were.

Happy Wednesday. XOXO

Sparkly

Here are my lights, from outside, inside and just an arty shot, they look like little space ships :-).

The sparkle helps cheer me up. It is my goal this week to get my joy back. I must learn to live what I believe and it has proven harder than I thought, but I never give up. My choice is to be happy no matter what goes on. My goal is to not let life beat me down. There is still plenty of beauty and love and light to go around. Wishing you a sparkly Monday. XOXO

Ahhh, Sunday...

My favorite day has arrived, I have the day off and I am feeling better about life. God gave me a gift in a kind neighbor who has volunteered to help with giving fluids. He did a great job holding, and it is so much less stressful for all concerned! Many others have stepped up with information and tips and I am more than grateful. I will soon be making my own animal food as I have also found out that dogs don't need grain either. Right now they are on no grain, no by product, organic food and soon will have fresh organic raw meat added to that. This will be difficult for me as I don't eat meat, but I will do whatever is best for my boys.
See below post to find out the answer to the quiz :-).
Today I am hanging lights. I am having a carefree artist day, it has been a very long month since I have felt carefree. Wishing you a joyful, carefree Sunday. XOXO

Truth or Fiction?

I got this fun game from Sukipoet. I will list 10 things about myself and one is false.
Make a guess which one is not true.
1. I once told a man 3 times my size that I would scratch his eyes out if he did not remove himself from in front of me at a Sting function (He rudely stood in front of me and I could not see), he moved immediately :-). True, I can be mean if it is called for and if I am very hormonal :-).
2. Speaking of Sting, we once knew each other for a brief time. True, he is a lovely man.
3. In my 20's I tried many illegal substances. True, I was a curious girl.
4. I once lived with a man who had a recurring role in the old "Streets of San Francisco" series, he played a cop. True.
5. I have not been to a doctor since I was 21. Due to a bad experience when I was 6 I don't trust them. True.
6. I was once interrogated by FBI agents. True, I have not always had the best taste in men :-).
7. I have a tattoo of a dragonfly on my right shoulder. FALSE, I love tattoos, but I hate needles.
8. When I was 13 I became a bible thumping christian, though it was short lived :-). True.
9. I believe in fairies. TRUE!
10. When I was 6, a man landed a helicopter into a nearby field and gave my friend and I a ride.
True.
Anonymous and Dawn and Renee, you got the answer right. Thank you all for playing! xoxo

Snow Day

Everything was canceled due to snow today. I did have to go out into the blizzard to get cat food, but now I am back and off to make a veggie stew and perhaps do a little drawing or some kind of simple art project as I am going a bit loopy from not having done any art for weeks.

If it were not so cold (16 degrees) I would go out and hang my lights, I may do it anyway :-). Do you notice the cute little table and chairs (there is also a bench on the other side)? They were a gift from clients who no longer had room for them. I love them and have always wanted a set like it. Thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers and thank you dear Jennifer for shopping in my ETSY shop :-).

Updates and Prayer Requests

Well, the boys are both holding their own and the fluids get harder to give, not easier as I thought, but I get it done. I have no idea how long they will live, but I aim to give them the best until they leave.
I heard news about several people I love very much, bad news and I need prayers and good thoughts. The first I cannot name as she would kill me, but let's call her K, she was just told she has cancer, I am not sure of the details yet. My cousin R's cancer has spread to his lungs and he needs prayers. Then there is my mom, who while she is doing really well, has a lot of pain in her legs. And last, but not least is Renee, who is having a really bad week, health wise. Thank you for thinking of them and sending out love.
On an upbeat note, I bought sparkly lights to hang as I have never done this and I NEED to get into the spirit of the season. I also need some fun and to do some art. I need to start taking some care of me this week.
I know I have not been around much, but I hope to catch up with all of you this weekend.
Love and hugs. XOXO
