today's the day!
Not that it's REALLY a special day, but I like the idea of it. It gets things tingling, anticipating "hey...day for what?! day for what?!! " And when I stop and think about it, every day is pretty special, and a gift.
This "weatherchick" didn't go out surfing today, because at 6 a.m. the tide was high and going even higher. Flat for sure. But sunny and gorgeous, nontheless. Good day for growing my new little grass seedlings!
I finished the large "surfer girl" piece yesterday, posting it here. At the end I added the "splatter" on all the pieces in the series, and hours later I was still finding tiny white spots all over my body! The Beach Boys song ("Little Surfer Girl) was playing in my head the whole time...I've always loved that song. Now my daughter listens to it. Today I'll finish up the other 6 pieces in the series, putting swashes of color and a glaze on top.
Natalia and her friends went yesterday to The End of the World , and they all jumped off, one by one. Into the ocean, that is! Ahhhh...I just love the name of that place, and am always awed by the wild beauty of the cliffs and the tremendous waves that hurl themselves onto the rocky shore in the winter. You feel each thundering "BOOM!" at the same time you see the whirling spray.. Summers are so tame by comparison. Still,...I wouldn't jump....
"Our" hawk, magnificent fellow that he is. He's now back in the wild blue yonder after meeting up with the front end of a speeding car. But he wasn't too badly hurt and we were all so delighted to see him released back to the sky! (and WE know, love does heal...)
What a "cathood" we live in! Our yard must be the only one in the neighborhood to NOT have a dog or cat (bunnies don't count). So the delinquent cats in the neighborhood,~ all shapes, sizes and colors~ love to slip through our yard or hang out on the grass when I'm not looking. Now they are sending me "catelepathy" I swear, and making me be inspired to photograph them. What next, I'm supposed to paint them? Meow.
Hawaiian breakfast of champions? (yep they're chocolate chip cookies).....mmm,,,,,weird word of the day.... "hoopla"!
