Isn’t he beautiful?

We’re having a quiet day today. I’m hoping to spend time in my art room, playing with my wood burning stuff. I bought two light wood stains and some varnish yesterday in preparation for trying more tips and techniques. Because I have a stubborn streak, I’m sticking to doing things by hand, rather than the laser art I’m seeing on Etsy. There are people offering all kinds of really nice stuff – personalized photos in wood for example – but I’ve always been drawn to things that are handmade, one at a time, each one different.

We’re having a beautiful morning and a really nice day so far. I say, “so far” because the weather folks are telling us all this beauty will end this evening. We’re in for everything, including flying hairballs, starting tonight into tomorrow, with pipe-bursting temperatures following possible severe weather…. Oh, GREAT.

Before I allow myself to play in my art room, my ‘have-to’s are bill paying and checkbook balancing, plus filing and clearing off my desk. Hopefully, I can get that done this morning. Exciting plans, huh. :0)

I wish you a really nice day, and the hope that the weather people’s scary predictions will prove untrue, and that we can just relax.

Happy Flying Hairballs Day

I gathered some of our twice-blooming purple iris yesterday afternoon, since the weather was forecast as threatening yesterday afternoon-into today.

Mother Nature is sliding between making the weather forecasters warn us about severe thunderstorms and then tornado watches with lots of red flashing lights on my weather thingie. Since it was hot in the house this morning and much cooler on the outside, we’ve opened our doors to air things out plus cool things off between rain storms. We’re under the gun until this afternoon, I think. It’s pretty dark outside right now.

I’m doing laundry, hoping to be able to finish as soon as possible in case we lose public power and have to rely on the generator. It will run everything in the house except heat and air, but I don’t want to tax the system.

I didn’t have anything to cover the new veggie plants with overnight, since the warnings were for everything from gusty winds to tornadoes to hail to flying hairballs, so I’m crossing my fingers that my sweet new plants make it through this.

I’m grateful for a dry home today, hoping we make it through this intact. Stay safe everyone.

Mother Nature is laughing at us again. Today is a miracle for a day in January in Arkansas – bright and sun-shine-y and 58 degrees F. It is simply gorgeous.

Tomorrow a cold front with heavy rain, plunging temperature, possible sleet and snow, plus flying hairballs is forecast.

All we can do is hang on and try to enjoy the ride!
