Back again...
…although I have not actually been away. As I mentioned in the last post (the only other post in August!), I’d be working on the new site. And as you probably noticed, it’s up and running. Well, not totally ready…there are links to finished and some glitches to work out, but I decided to take the leap and make it official. I’ve also been busy creating a video for a memorial for my brother-in-law who sadly passed on July 31. And I’m progressing on the 2023 calendar, slowly but surely. It’s been a long month of sitting at my desk, so I am ready to move about some more and enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest summer. And, yes, it’s still summer until the 21st so put your pumpkin spice away. I plan to love every. single. summer day left.
If you arrived directly at this blog, I hope you’ll test drive the rest of the site. For awhile, your email notification will direct you to the home page, with the idea you’ll investigate it! After awhile, I’ll send you directly the blog. Do let me know if you experience problems viewing it, especially on the phone or tablet. I think it will be fine on desktop or laptop. Fingers crossed.
It’s always fun to have a new look - like when Lucy Ricardo was constantly moving the furniture around. I hope it puts forward the many art-related collections I’ve amassed over the last 14 years - The Daily Amazings, the Difference Makers, the Sidewalk Crackers…I’m hoping some of you may even discover them - and more - this time around. It’s All About Arts.
Just a note: all previous blog posts are not translating well into the new style, but I’m not going to revise them. Hopefully all the new ones will be better-looking. I will be fussing with it for awhile; I know you’ll be patient.
I’ve been collecting several goodies to share. Using the Jewels of Life theme…here are a few. And, for the record, someone asked me, where’s love and friendship? Here’s my take: most definitely love, family, friendship, good health: the necessities for a lovely life! The clothing you wear everyday. Ah, but then,…then! .. you seek the jewels to enrich. Among them:

There are some amazing photographs of early mornings here. I can almost feel the morning dew.

Aren’t these interesting?!
“I have them with a little garlic and butter on some yummy toast 😋”
“I know it can make a purple dye, which I find amazing from an orange fungus!”
