OK, so here's where three of my paintings are on the web, I'll try to post more http://windygate.home.att.net
My animal inventory stands, for the moment, at 7 bunnies, 4 chickens, 2 goats, 2 dogs, a cat, outdoor goldfish, and 2 parakeets. I've pared waaaay back from what I used to have!
Anyway, the grocery store in town had hardy fuschias for 5 bucks, so I picked one up to plant by the little cabin/greenhouse where I like to paint and where I start seeds. Now I just need to get the weeds out of the patch where I'll plant it, and try to convince my old-timer doggie that it isn't a good place to take a nap!
I think alot of the wildfires I know about don't make the news. I hear the engines tearing by every few days now, they are probably getting the fires out before they amount to much. One came within a few feet of my neighbors house a couple of weeks ago, and I've seen the fire department roll down there a couple of times since, probably checking for hot spots and such. It's so dry out, a bit of glass magnifying sunlight onto a bit of dry grass can start a blaze going. ugh!

Nice website. I used to live in Olympia and still have a few clients in the area. I was just over by the Mima Mounds and the Bordeaux Rd. on Friday. You are right, it is dry out on the prairie. Just remember that sooner than we think we will be begging for a break from the rain.

Oh Oh Oh ..... did you do that stunning cat? It's absolutely gorgeous!!! I do a bit of amateur sketching but I'm not nearly as adept as you with paints. Guess I need a whole lot more practice to even come close.

Thanks! The kitty is my MingMao, she was eyeing a bird to snack on when I snapped the reference photo for that.
Muddy, you were right up by me then! And I love the rain, just don't care for freezing rain!
