Back yard and you can't even see Mt. Si.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were blessed with 6 inches of the white fluffy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stuff starting Christmas Eve. Our drive home from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the family dinner was very shall we say tricky. We ended up following </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two snowplows on I-90 all the way back home. I thank those plow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drivers from the bottom of my heart. Once home we cuddled up with Cooper and Max by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a roaring fire and waited for Santa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was magical !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and I'll see you in the new year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with paint brush in hand as I have some new ideas in my mind.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have been working on my first set of Christmas cards and thought this </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first one appropriate with the moose working on the tree with his buddies !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While it is snowing on the card it is snowing outside my window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The moose are getting the lights ready as should I be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
doing. But I don't think this snow will last ( at least I hope not).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just to early. I still had gardening to do.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weather has me bewildered as last week it was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a balmy 62 degrees. Oh well I will just go with whatever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may come. My last moose is bringing the decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find these critters over on my Etsy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe there are still hummingbirds flying about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the snow. Have a happy Sunday everyone.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is October... what happened to August and September...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking out at the rain and beautiful colors mother nature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has painted my backyard, I have come to realize I am one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
person and I can't do it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been eleven months of working on the exterior of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my log home. I have learned from all of this....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't build such a huge house, don't build a gigantic deck to go </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the large house, don't create so many gardens on your ten plus acres.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should be famous for the number of weeds I have pulled and I am not done yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the weather turns wet and cold I will be starting on the inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My two little buddies had to be shaved down as they were developing matts and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't get a brush through their hair. So now they have new coats to keep them warm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while we wait for their fur to grow back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not spoiled at all....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have been troopers through all the work on the house. They</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had to greet all the workmen every morning when they arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How I found time for painting I don't know. I think it was my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
salvation and time to get lost from all that was going on around me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had time to think about life and what I want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing for sure is I don't want a lot of "stuff". I am going to be downsizing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I am going through everything and downsizing my belongings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have quietly been visiting all the blogs I follow just so I know what's going on with all of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not much time to leave messages but am hoping to change that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying to keep up with my walking, thanks to my Fitbit ( it reminds me all the time).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had so many wildfires here this summer that walking had to be put on hold or inside due to the smoke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will try to be more "here on the blog" in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Fall everyone.</div>

The bunny has spoken. Enough of the snow and </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still re-organizing the studio. I took before pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which I will try to find the nerve to show you once I am done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will then realize all that I have been going through. It </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
requires lots of chocolate and snacks....LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During all this time I have been having the house glass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
blasted removing all stain, etc on the logs and then totally </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
redoing it. A great crew working in all kinds of nasty weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have had to stop and wait for warmer weather to do the staining.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What they were able to get done before the nasty weather looks fantastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So you can see I have been busy. But I will catch up more soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy hearts ,flowers and CHOCOLATE day!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi and yes I have not</span> put anything on the blog </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since July. Not that there wasn't anything to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"bark" about...actually there was just to much going on. I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decided to have the house totally redone on the outside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it took a great deal of time to find the right company to do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the job. They are glass blasting all the logs right down,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
removing all the stain and redoing the whole thing. This is really a process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had one more day of blasting and things ground to a halt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do to freezing weather and then unexpected snowwwwwwww!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On top of all this I had cataract surgery on Thursday and driving was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not good. But my son came to the rescue again. The surgery was a lot easier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
than I thought it would be, with great results.</div>

Me</div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> I have been away but not by choice...</span><div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> On Fathers Day my son and I were walking</span><ol style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: center;">up our long driveway when I had to stop</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">because I started having pains in my chest and having trouble</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">catching my breath. Then my mouth went numb.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">So he drove me to emergency and they thought I</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">was having a heart attack. So by ambulance to the big city hospital.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Tests after tests came back normal but the</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">cardiologist were not buying it and wanted to do an </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">angioplasty. So they scheduled it and had surgery the </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">next day where they found a 99% percent blockage.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Long story short I have a shiny new stent inside me </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">and I am now feeling much more better.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Glad to be alive!!!! </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">I usually don't write about all this stuff but I felt there</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">were a few things I could point out.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"> For weeks I was always feeling tired.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">I had had some chest pain but thought it was</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">acid reflux.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">My jaw had been sore on the right side for </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">some time.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">I was winded going up the stairs.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">My complexion was pale.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"> </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">I just didn't add it all up. I had had a physical</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"> and all was fine. So ladies be aware our </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">symptoms are not the same as men's.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">I was so lucky that my son was there, that the</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"> doctors were not fooled by my first set of tests</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">and it was caught in time.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">So take the time to listen to your body.</li>
</ol>
<span style="text-align: center;"> It will pay off big time.</span><br /><ol style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: center;">I am anxious to get back to painting. </li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Sorry about the numbers on the left. This happened once</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"> before and I can't remember how to get them GONE.....!*** :-( </li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><br /></li>

My son took me to the Kubota Garden in Seattle for a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mothers day stroll. We spent hours there just marveling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at this beautiful peaceful place.</div>

emigrated to the US in 1907 and started the garden in </div>

But then the next day they want to help me weed. Such</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sweet little munchkins, until the next dog on TV.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Max loves the Heinz commercial with weiner dogs in buns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
running for the ketchup and mustard. Where do they come up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with this stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note Spring is here. So I wandered about the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
property shooting photos of early flowers and my wonderful </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
very old cherry tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jfC83Qrgebk/VwwasRIR5mI/AAAAAAAAHyw/ob8vAqCPRDw9jTMAwTr2HsAXoHVnxJKdQ/s1600/IMG_3614.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jfC83Qrgebk/VwwasRIR5mI/AAAAAAAAHyw/ob8vAqCPRDw9jTMAwTr2HsAXoHVnxJKdQ/s400/IMG_3614.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rescued this tree some twenty plus years ago and brought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it here to Wildflower. It was old then, but every year it puts on a show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some reason blogger won't let me post more pictures .... so<br />
there will have to be a part two. If anyone knows why, let me know.<br />
Til then tootles and may the sun shine down on you all.</div>
