Toy Gun

I sketched this out in pencil on to a canvas sheet and added watercolor. Then I outlined it with a special pen so you could see the outline.

This is called "Toy Gun" and it's one of my son's toys. It shoots these big hollow plastic balls.

Oh boy, this is delicious

What's makin' me happy today

Right now this thing is playing Shakira and the sound on this little Saitek speaker is amazing. It's like Shakira is in the room bellydancing just for me! Wow.

Thought for the day

"Does thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of."

-Benjamin Franklin

Double rainbow

This was the first time I've seen a double rainbow in my whole life. It stayed bright and remained in a full arc for about 20 minutes. It poured rain hard, right as the sun was beginning to set; through the rain this full rainbow appeared.

I didn't get great pictures of it, they'll never transfer the true beauty of what I saw today. The camera can't capture the sound of the pounding rain and the feel of the warm air and the delight and surprise of looking upward and seeing a double rainbow for the first time. It really made my jaw drop. It's funny how the simplest thing can surprise you and totally change you.

The third picture is of the rain stopping and the sun blasting through the trees toward me. The sky and the light were marvelous together.

This whole experience was so uncomplicated and so vivid.

I really felt the happiness of a kid again.

What Your Fridge Says About You

You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times. You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver. You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get bored very easily. You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it. You are likely to be married - and very busy.

What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?

I don't know why I love these. But I love these. Honestly, what does your refrigerator say about you? Why do I believe these? Titter, grin.

My dinner: Thank you Universe

Spinach Salad fresh from my neighbor's garden. (My neighbor came over with a bag of freshly picked salad greens today!!!!!)

A good life has a garden in it somewhere, even if it belongs to your neighbor.

A good life includes the experience of eating food straight from the stem.

Thank you Universe!!
