Warm Evenings

Wow! Finally! its hot with warm evenings!! My tomato is happy and growing 2 inches a day! Lots of blossoms and soon-tomatoes with taste!
I have the radio on while I go here and there and the other day Dennis Miller said something just as he broke to commercial- " Be home when the street lights come on."

I had a flashback! The summer nights when I was about 10-12 years old. The neighborhood kids would all be playing outside (inner San Francisco) and that was the RULE -boy you had better be home when the street lights came on or you would face mom wrath. If  I wasn't home,  and she came after me- that would be it. She would find me and DRAG me home by the EAR!!

I have also entered and soon to complete my post cards for the Liberate Your Art challenge. Its kind of like Guerrilla art. You prepare post card (5) then the moderator mails them out around the world! I will also get 5 from random people! Fun.
I have decided to use-the OP (oil pastel) from a previous post here, and Nora's present and this one you haven't seen

Yes - its Marla. She'll be traveling flat Stanley style.

I guess winter is coming fast and cold. I finally left the property today, Thursday, after being cooped up since Sunday afternoon. I could not believe , in Lotus, all the Scrub Oak trees with broken limbs! Looked like the Terminator went through. No wonder El Dorado county has power problems! the snow was so deep and heavy!
Poor Scrub Oaks said " we do dusting,NOT heavy snowfall!"






Today, it warmed up some and the thermometer did not say 0 -actually warmed up to about 45 degrees,
I know it is worse in other areas, I try to be thankful- it could be worse.

My new mantra- It could be worse.
I would like to blog more and wonder who would read it - or care. I use to keep a journal. Writing is creative- so sometimes it just doesn't flow.
Or it could be cathartic (def: any cleansing or release, as of pent up emotions-per Webster)
Or sometimes it could be random thoughts.

So perhaps I will actually start writing random thoughts or words of wisdom. Sometimes the thoughts roll around in my head and I feel I need to share or tell someone. Maybe its because I live alone and don't "chat" with others??





Marla doesnt respond well.
