Where or where on earth have I been??? Well, let me tell you. It has been snowing here. Arizona snow that is... I woke up one morning and what did I see, but all kinds of sparkles dancing around me...
I hopped out of bed, in a dreamy delight, and ran to the window, awaiting a sight. Did it snow, oh please snow, did it flutter down my way?
It did, oh it did! It was cold it was grey... The flurries dancing about, oh what a sight! But wait, oh wait, the sky is not grey... It is a miracle, it is snowing, with no clouds around...
I wildly run about, where is my coat and my scarf? My snow boots, freshly washed, my mittens standing by, where is my hat, I can't wait... Must go out and play...
What, there is a problem, I step right outside. I feel my skin is toasting, I have stepped into an oven. I rip off my scarf, my mittens too... And what is wrong with this snow, it is rather fluffy, oh fooooo!
Is this a cruel joke? I must remove all my garb, while hundreds of white fluffy things stick to my eyelashes. They invade my hair, and tickle my ears. "I am not happy to see you" I holler, no cheer...
I look to the sky, and what do I see?
Why, its mother nature laughing at me. She thinks this is funny, she thinks I should smile... She has no idea I've been praying for snow for a long while. She scolds while she giggles, "You don't live in Maine, now stop praying for snow, you've become such a pain." I go off with a huff, I am disgusted you see. The Desert Broom is shedding, and playing snowy tricks on me...
I am speechless with mother nature... People say, feel lucky, you have bikini weather all year. What? Say I... Sounds like a nightmare, I feel like I could cry... I guess the only good thing about it being 88 degrees today, on November 19th, is that, we still have flowers...
And lovely oranges are growing on the orange tree...
And, I can brag about my amazing coats without sounding obnoxious, because I can't even wear them...
So the Du buh Du sisters (who trickled in this weekend) and I, have created our own piano bar, where we wash our woes away with ginger tea and follow that up with apple crisp... (better photos to follow of these four precious girls, when their sister Maura arrives)
Okay, in all honesty, there are fun and good things happening... For instance, if you get a chance you must go over to Hey Pretty Cupcake, where you can now find some of my work on mirrors. And at the Hey Prety Cupcake Etsy shop, you will find some of my work and Marmee's work, and a bunch of other fun work on magents and stickers, and ornaments, OH MY!
And tomorrow (Tuesday Nov 20th), early afternoon, you will find some birds for sale.
Birds in nests, birds with little eggs, birds in party attire, but all super sparkly and jeweled and in cone hats!!! Where will you find them you ask? They will be in my little shop...
See you soon!!
