Why do I feel like I am in one of those movies, where I am the only one who notices that something strange is going on, and everyone I tell or ask looks at me like I have lost my mind?
What is this regarding? Well, you see, the weather is astounding for this time of year. "It is" Southern Arizona. "It is" normally 90+ degress this time of year. However, for the last three days it has been dark and cold and rainy. I have "never" experienced this weather, in May in Arizona, in my lifetime.
Now, I love and adore and embrace this weather. I love everything about it. I adore rain and clouds and pancake days like this. And, I feel oh so lucky to have 50' weather on May 23rd. But, I have to admit, it is downright freaky...
And, on top of that, snow in the mountains? This is like my real life dream come true... Wait a second, is this a Mother Nature hoax?? Will I wake up to 114' tomorrow?
I went outside to take some photos, when all of a sudden, I felt like I entered a time warp. It felt like Fall. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure in the sky. I am serious... The weather is confusing everyone. Even the Witches...
I am hereby proclaiming my very own...
Yes this guy is really hanging on my porch at the country house, right now. Yes, we are celebrating every holiday on the porch, all of the time :) Why put it all away? Time goes by like lightning anyway...
Do you think I would freak my neighbors out if I went Trick or Treating tonight??? I bet I could get some really good treats this time of year... Hey, I think I am on to something...
I'll tell ya, I just visited September and October, and I am totally re-inspired by all the fun we had. How I love Fall!!!!
I have had the weirdest week in the history of weird weeks. Today still feels like Monday to me. I have been in a photo taking, shop update, packaging frenzy (which I welcome wholeheartedly). And, really, just sat down to breathe today... And went, wait, is it really Friday, no really? Friday??? Plus, it feels like Fall??? This is tooo weird...
Anyhow, In other totally random news... I have been playing with making videos. Now, I am not prepared to turn the camera on myself. I am not that brave yet (maybe one day)... However, I have been taking a few wee videos in the studio and such...
So today, for practice, I actually made a video using photos of some of my artwork...
I couldn't get a hold of my brother for more music, he is working on some movie editing project and is swamped these days. But I found a great resource for music you can use in videos. So, that is where this song came from, by Aaron Derington...
Now this is just a tester, but I'll get better over time, I hope... All of the Paper Dress Art pieces and Mermaids are paintings I did in 2007 (2006). Some of the illustrations are newer...
So, there you have it. My first video, made by me. I don't know how I figured out the software. It was like magic. I looked at it before and felt so overwhelmed. But all of a sudden, my brain was open to it today... So voila....
I have a Jewish Rice pudding cooking in the oven in a bain marie (for Mr. Lovee), and it smells heavenly. It is almost like a rice pudding custard. Perfect for a cold evening... I better be off to do my second stir and lowering of the heat...
Off I go... I hope to catch up with you this weekend!!! Have a lovely & safe one!! xoxo,V
