A Storm Came Through

We have been waiting and waiting for the temperatures to drop.

Thursday evening a rainstorm came through!

On Friday, it was impossible to keep my eyes off the sky.  CLOUDS!

I made sure my camera was with me at all times.

Alas, today the storm has traveled on, taking all the clouds with it.  There is nothing left...except a warm, very low sun excellent for taking a shadow picture.

It amuses me to no end: the way brussels sprouts grow.

Scary Santa

I'm always up for a good, scary Santa face.
These photos were taken Wednesday evening at Goodwill.
But, I left these three "jolly" guys there!

Meet The Gang

Meet the gang!  This is how I played this past weekend.

I found PaperClay.  It has been difficult to find in stores.
But my local, mom-n-pop paper craft store carries it!  Yahoo!
PaperClay is light and easy to use, and it air dries.

Happy December!

I enjoyed an afternoon of paper chain making.

Joy and Sorrow Are Friends

I have always tried to separate joy and sorrow, as if you can only feel one as soon as the other has ushered out.  And don't even think of feeling the other way again until you have cleaned up and swept out every emotional crumb of the current emotion.

Exhausting.

I have decided to let them hold hands.
It's a bit heavy at the moment, but it is much more peaceful.
