Tiny Dinosaurs

 

Wild turkeys! A whole little flock of them...

Why did the turkeys cross the road? 

Whoosh

 

Abandoned

 Somewhere in Arizona...

(This is Wednesday's post on Thursday;  a power outage last night meant no blogging...)

Midcentury Cool

 

Three very cool artworks on the outside of a bank (now closed) in Sun City. I did some quick research but haven't been able to find any info on the artist.

Happy Merry 2023

 

Tallulah Mae loved Christmas, so let's revisit some of her visits with Santa Claus. (Actually, I don't think she did love Christmas, but she was so so adorable!)

Sky Show

 

Field of Foziewisps

 

Cotton Ball Skies

High in the Sky

 

Is it a bird?

No...but what is it?

Ahhh, someone's "30" has drifted away.

Hi, Santa!

 

Santa on the roof of the neighborhood dive bar/karaoke joint...

Random Heart: Beer Suds Edition

Scenes from the Antique Mall

 

This I love...

A surly mannequin (modeling an overpriced two-piece outfit).

This I also love...it is a counter display sign.

Hmmm...

Groovy!

Okaayyy...

No words needed.

Groovy!

 

How is this even real? It is so very Flower Power, yes? (Gaillardia flower, I think...not in my garden.)

Remember these lovelies from this summer? 

These are what I dug up (to store over the winter)...just one tuber, planted in the spring, has turned into these clumps of new tubers. Not all of them are viable, but very cool!

The clump above is amazing...

I also discovered some squirrelly items buried in the dahlia bed. I put these here on a stack of bricks that the skwerls use as stairs, and the next day they were all gone, buried somewhere else in the yard, I assume.

Sun, Down

 

Ah, nothing like a San Diego winter sunset! This was on Saturday; tonight's was spectacular as well.

Peek-a-Boo

 

Feathery

 

I'm not sure who left me this little gift--was it a hawk or an owl?--but I'm glad they did.

Splashy

 And we wonder why we need to fill up the fountain so frequently...

Sampler

 

This is a self-drafted sampler of some of my favorite things. I started it years ago as part of a blog stitchalong but I didn't get very far and I tucked it away. When I got it back out, I didn't like very many of the squares I had done and I ripped out all but 3 of them and in essence started over. Are there wonky things? Yes! 

I really like how it turned out, even with the wonky stuff. It was so fun to make this--I was a little sad when I finished! Now to press it out and frame it up!
