Oh OK. I read where you’re just using the color scheme this year. But Big Ol could start you a collection by getting one for you for Christmas. ;o)
Oh I'd love to, but there are much better uses for the money. They run from about $200 and up. This one is almost $800:
Theme-ing just narrows them down: Just the gold and silver ones, or just the red and white ones, or in this case - the jewel tones with some homemade extras.
If this flooding actually pans out, you’re gonna have to drive around and get some pictures! ;-)
Well, pricey yes but it’s art, well done ethnic art. I like ‘em.
They could be made at home, given a good color printer, suitable backing and an unlimited supply of patience and time to assemble into ornaments.
Ah, that explains the ingredients. Hope it turns out to your satisfaction. A good cook tests the recipe early and often. :-)
Yowsers! Are they all a foot long? Do any of them come in ‘half-pints’?
That’s a good suggestion... could certainly help me out with the brushstrokes that require brushes that I don’t have. :)
Good morning, fairly humorless day here for us... many inches of rain overnight and high winds expected. Been up since 1:00.
Just fed the horses out in the pasture, it’s real wet, but they feel better out there.
Positive tall tree thoughts, as always, appreciated. We’ll check in as we can, ready to bug out if we need to.
Ugh. Positive tall tree thoughts coming up!
Ok, stay safe!
Not really looking forward to the drive in today. It’s still really icy out. But hey, that’s why I have an 8:30 meeting today, right? To encourage me?
hopefully he was usin' his teeth... must make yuh suh proud...
Prayers certainly for your mom Talon... Sounds like a bad wreck and I hope you hear good news this morning. Was she on her own horse? Does she usually ride?
Prayers for the Talon family, for tall trees in wind, and a request for prayer for my stepdad.
My Mom called this morning. She was supposed to come this week to see the show but likely won't. My stepdad has the MRSA virus. Since he's had two quadruple bypass operations, there are obvious concerns. He's having tests tomorrow.
What scares me is that he's always worked like an ox, always having to do something. We often commented that if he ever quit, it would kill him. They gave up the store this last summer. He's had one health issue after another since then.
~sigh~
Oh, gosh, Talon... Will certainly pray.
Oh my. We’ll send some prayers her way.
Hm...I’m thinkin’ the gal that usually goes out to Shelton probably won’t today. Look at this:
US 101 S - Mudslide, All Lanes Blocked, on ramp Blocked on US 101 southbound at State Route 8 since 4:47 AM, 12/03/07 for the next two hours
From milepost 361 to milepost 362
Isn’t that right where you turn off to go to Shelton - at Route 8?
Sounds like it isn’t gonna get much better where mud and flooding are concerned for awhile, either. :-\
Yeah - that’s right where 101 turns north and 8 goes on to the ocean. They’re saying also many blockages... you basically can’t get to the ocean from here.
According to the forecast, FWIW, the sustained winds are supposed to be about their highest, and so far, we’ve been fairly protected. I don’t think they’ve been bad. We may be benefiting from the shadow of the black hills. Hopefully that keeps up. We haven’t felt like we need to bail yet.
