Holiday Season

Winter Wonderland.

Dry Brush Painted Coffee Table

A return to purple has become our latest passion.

New Moon, New Year...........

Peacekeepers, Guardian Angels....

Hard Times for Huskies...............

Hard times have fallen on everyone, well, just about everyone.

Nikita was resting comfortabley this
morning, thank heaven.

On the other side of the bed, she has her grandparent purchased, L.L. Bean, sage colored, thickly padded mattress - but she chose this.

Can't say I blame her.

Sweet dreams little husky.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................

Political Commentary......... from the last economic bubble.

Real World

Susan Lowery - 1999

I know there's a place for me
Outside this corporate realm
Tired of being a figurine
All that can go straight to hell

Dinner dates, terms and rates
Policies on the line
Holdin' it in
No matter how grim
I've got better things to do with time
I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Looking for truth and solutions
Cures to false pride and pollution
Bodies containing minds that relate, using technology - minus the hate
Procrastination, manipulation - sad, sad tools of the trade
Stop talking - start walkin'
It's time to infiltrate
I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

A place of love
A place of integrity
Learning to live more passionately
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Old boys nations, leaving us nothing but constipation
Well meaning swelled up buffoons
Politics clear as cartoons!
Cut the fat, that's just that,
Let's everyone tow the line
Cut the fat, that's just that,
Or leave 'em all behind

I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Snowy Lizards..........

Too fun!

Nikki and I had a great walk this morning out in the snow. Here are the little lizards that flank the entry to our patio.

Peaceful and quiet.

Snowday, ahhhhhhhhhh..........

Slowly But Surely....................

I get really irritated when it takes so long to get things done, but I guess that the order for the last 6 months has been PATIENCE....... Not my favorite word, nor action....

I cannot wait until Christmas break - I need my life back.

I will finish this piece over the break.
