the new year....



So we all took a little holiday from posting on the blog and thought we would start the new year out fresh.
Well,
my first idea VE used, then pepper sucked up my second idea….
It’s a good thing I don’t post on Friday’s or there would be nothing left for me to say!
I am really just kidding. We don’t have any idea what anybody else is going to write about, unless we decide we want to do a theme week. Then we all know about what the others are going to write, but not what they will do.
I personally love checking in each day to see what they have to say or show.  It is almost always a surprise.

Anyway I suppose I should get to my post.
I thought I would start my first new years post by finding some brand new shops to show off.
I didn’t get very far….
I found a really sweet illustration and my idea just took off on it’s own.

Did you guess what I got sidetracked by yet?...lol
Yes, a bunch of owls.

Late one night my husband and I came home and we heard a very weird sound coming from the woods. (it was creepy) It kept moving around and screeching from high to low, left and then right. After my husband said wth is that??? We decided that it must have been a screech owl. (I was able to sleep after that…ha!)

I love the way owls turn their heads and barely blink. It is like the effort is almost too much for them

Sometimes it seems like they are looking right through you.

I do think of owls as being rather regal…

Double Rainbows

curtxdrum

Last weekend my daughter and I were driving to the store in the late afternoon. As we slowed down to pull into the parking lot, we saw this man holding his phone out like he was taking a picture of something. We were trying to figure out what on earth he was looking at that he found so fascinating. My daughter turned to face me and say something but all she got out was a gasp of surprise. To our left was a beautiful double rainbow. Both were full arcs and vibrant color.

It was just breathtaking! I quickly parked the car and we got out.

People stopped wherever they were and just stared up at this wonderful site. Employees and customers in the store started pouring out of the doors taking pictures or just gazing skyward.

Everyone was caught up in the moment. They were chatting and saying what an amazing site it was.

People were smiling and I have never seen so many happy people doing food shopping.

You can find many rainbows in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Each one is  beautiful in it's own way. I hope you enjoy these as much as my daughter  and I enjoyed seeing the double rainbow the other day.
