Oh what a beautiful morning...

Oh what a beautiful day.......

Otis and Riley and I are going for a walk. Come along and I'll show you some houses.

This is one of the historical houses in our neighborhood. The "A.L. Lancaster" house.

Here we have a spanish house being renovated.

This is a house I pass all the time when Otis and Riley and I take a walk. It's also having some rehab and painting done. I love this house and often wonder what it would be like to live there and what the house looks like on the inside.

What are you guys sniffing?

We made it to the park. Do you see Otis and Riley?

Let's continue our walk. Look at the pretty daffodils.

And this magnificant magnolia tree. It's huge.




I can tell an artsy person lives here.


Another cute little house.




And here we are, back home.


Otis and Riley head to the back patio.


My pink chair is calling me.........come sit and have lunch.

I think Otis and Riley and I are going to soak up every bit of sunshine that we can today.

Birds and Otis

If I were a bird, I'd sing a song
And fly about the whole day long
And when the night comes, go to rest,
Up in my cozy little nest.
by Jackie Silberg

Here are some more birds I've been busy painting.

And speaking of birds, I was out running errands and stopped by the ATM for some cash and here comes a seagull walking right up to my car.





He came closer. I think he was hungry. Of course, all I had in the car was some old candy corn from halloween. Oh, well. Sorry little guy.


So when I got home, just for the fun of it, I got on the computer and played some seagull sounds.

Check out Otis when he heard them.

Be sure to stop by my etsy shop to see more birds.

Enjoy your day!

Welcome the dawn of a new day.

You gotta have art

We have quite a few artists in our family and I love to display our art whenever and wherever I can. Art fills the walls of our home. I'd like to show you some.

Each piece not only has a story, but a special meaning and a place in my heart.

Surround yourself with art!

Napping
