Goodbye Overtime!

As of Wednesday this week I'm back to a normal 8 hour day. The overtime started slowly around the beginning of June - then really ramped up at the start of July. I worked 11 hour days for about the last three weeks. It's tiring but thankfully doesn't last too long.

The cats are happy to get to go outside on a Saturday morning for the first time in almost two months. I've got a lot to catch up on!

30 years ago today we lost mom. Just typing out these words can still make me cry.

Crazy Busy June

Oh man, what a crazy month it's been. Work has been very busy and it will get even worse over the next couple of weeks. I'm finally taking a few moments out to post a few pictures to let anyone out there know I'm still around ☺

I lucked out with some really healthy annuals that I bought for the front porch, and the fuchsia Geranium has actually been wintered indoors for a couple of years I think.

Kinetic Sand Drawings by Bruce Shapiro

So it's been a while, obviously! We are knee deep in our busy season at work, and myself along with a lot of other people are working 45+ hour weeks, so most of my web surfing has been on my phone while on the bus. But I did log in tonight on the ol' computer and found these really cool kinetic sand drawings by Bruce Shapiro over on Colossal.com - check it out!

                   

Work by Italian Muralist Eron

Mural of Heron's taking flight by Eron

Over on Colossal.com yesterday there was a post on Italian muralist Eron featuring some of his recent work. He apparently does it with spray paint, but they are absolute works of art, not graffiti. The complete video below is just under three minutes.
