Sun Glorious Sun!

The Sun has been shining for three days now. I can not contain myself for it is glorious. I save the word glorious for times that I feel the most Joy. Once I drove through Glacier park on the Going to the Sun Road at about 8:00 in the morning. The sun was shining and the shadows were low. It was absolutely glorious. I will never forget that summer day.

The day seemed to fall through my fingers

This whole day has been a day of little accomplished.
I should have just sat on the couch reading all day.
Everything I touched fell apart.
The banner for this blog drove me crazy.
My experimental paintings were worthless.
I spent too much time on the computer doing nothing.

However, dinner was good!
Leave it to food to turn things around.

Thought for the day ........

"Always end the day on a positive note"

Montana Landscape

This 4"X6" oil on board is one of my favorite miniatures . The scene is typical of the landscape of rural Montana.
I used rich earthy colors as a contrast against the blue sky peeking out behind billowing white clouds.
The big Montana sky reminds me of what I see out of my window every day as I look at the farmland below my home.

Potions

Hey, I'm headed out to boot camp on Saturday. It really doesn't start until Tuesday but I'm going early.
Watch out! I will come back with lots of new witchcraft and wizardly potions for you all to try.
A few are of them are: bio feed back ,PH balance, EER Program, and Masji. Sound like Greek?
It does to me too. Some day I will make oilizers of you all.

An explosion of berries

Well, it is Summer time at its height in Montana.
My raspberries are exploding with yummy goodness.
Unfortunately they are a few weeks late so my family were not able to experience them when they were here.
I am preserving the memory of the plump red fruit in little jars of almost seedless jam.
They (my family) will have to come visit to get some of the coveted jam.

I love to pick raspberries.
It gives me time to think, and ponder and be thankful for the bounty the Lord has given me in all aspects of my life.
