OK ... so it has been a long time since my last post ... I did do one about the tree that fell in my back yard during hurricane Sandy ... but when I realized how bad things were in NY and NJ ... I thought who the hell am I to complain about one tree that took out my back yard ... so I didn't post it ... BUT ... lots of stuff has been going on and I have a few photo's to show ... I have a stray cat living in my yard ... I named him Smokie ... he will not let me come near him which leads me to believe that he is feral ... or has been abused badly and abandoned ... he is very sweet and eats every time I feed him ... which is as often as he will eat ...
My nephew Zachary turned five today ... all he wants to be is a Super Hero and fight crime so I made him a Super Hero cape and boots ... it was a big hit ... just not as big as the Spider Man skateboard that Aunt Lisa gave him ... thank God I had chocolate for him ...
This is the tree that took out my yard during Sandy ... I am very lucky that this is all that happened and I never lost power.
This is the still life I started about a week ago ...
and the progress so far ...
apparently I am in a martini phase ...
I sit here now (sipping a martini) contemplating my future and still trying to figure out my past ... sometimes I have these fleeting moments of clarity where I say "get your shit together girl" and then there are those times that I tell myself ... I was so miserable... for so long ... that I should do whatever I want ... and be 18 again. I try hard to give myself some slack and allow myself to just live and laugh ... because life is short and I am not getting any younger ... Every New Years Eve for so many years I would think ... I wonder where I will be next year ... and every year I would be in the same miserable skin ... living the same miserable life ... now I ask myself daily "where the hell will I be tomorrow" ... and it's a crap shoot ... sometimes I'm in a good place and sometimes not so much ... but I am never miserable anymore ... never ... and that makes my life ... a wonderful life ...
