Just popping in to say that it seems that the deployment will be happening, but without my Handsome Hubby. It is still true that nothing is for sure, but at this point, it looks like God wants him here.
Ahhh, I can breathe now!
Want to see some art?
I just love those eyelashes. =)
This next one makes me cry. It’s a hummingbird that was intended as a Christmas gift for my Mom. I had some glitter (the fancy kind!) that I was going to add in around the neck. It’s not like it was completely done, but I had made a substantial start (i.e. I don’t get much free time and I had used a LOT of it on this project). Then, my lovely Eleanor, who just loves to pull up and “muck about” with whatever she finds there, somehow overturned my glass of water and, well, it’s just about ruined. I know it could probably be salvaged, but I just don’t even know if I could find the time to fix it. Anyway, my heart isn’t in it anymore. I think my painting hobby is getting put on hold for a bit. Sorry, Mom. Goodbye little beautiful birdie.
are you still beekeeping? any more info on your perone hive? also wondering what region you are in…i am in the PNW. i think the last you posted about the hive the loss (sorry!) but you have such lovely informative posts leading up to it i’m hoping you are keeping at it or going to try again!!
Hi Liv,
Thanks for commenting. I don’t have any bees currently. We moved in March and had a baby in April (2014). Even though it was a busy time, we were really hoping to get a swarm from my beekeeping mentor – he told me I was first on his list and that he had seven swarms the previous year, but then none this year. I am reluctant to use commercial bees again. I think I am going to be a bit more proactive about finding a swarm this Spring. Do you have a Perone hive? If so, I’d love to hear how it is going.
My region is the DC metro area. =)
Nicole….I hope you save the hummingbird just as it is ….lovely and possibly flawed but filled with beauty and hope..a reflection of you and your family. Happy Valentine’s weekend. Love to all of you, Susan
Yes, save it. You paint beautifully. These things happen. Not to worry. I love Adele ‘ s drawing. Well done. Good to hear Kent won’t be going away. Hang in there, Love.
