It Has Happened!! ..

The clematis that began to bloom a few weeks ago, is now in full bloom. It’s so exciting in a quiet sort of way. I see it in the evening and in the morning, and appreciate it then as I’m coming and going. Full on purple!

there’s one thing I haven’t been able to correct and that’s the bird poop. I’m just gonna have to live with that and clean it off periodically so the mailman doesn’t get to bent out of shape. I guess when I’m watering the hanging baskets I’ll just bring out the watering can and wash it away the best I can.

What’s disappointing is that the Iris flowers have finally finished their blooming cycle. Where there was once white and purple, now all that remains are shriveled up brown petals. All good things must come to an end I suppose.

The iris by the front walkway have also faded away and all that remain are green stems. The green foliage looks nice though and almost looks like grass. The other plants are starting to fill-in and create a nice layered affect. We recently got a few storms that helped rejuvenate the plant material that was once wilting and starving for water.

Speaking of rain and weather, I’m outdoor grilling right now and I realize a storm is brewing to our west. All our weather usually comes from the west. It’s kind of eerie looking since the edge of the storm is beginning to become covered the sun creating a sort of halo effect beneath the clouds.

I better hurry up and get the steaks done! Filet mignon tonight. The only steak my wife will eat.. she has expensive taste what can I say. Lol. I can’t complain much I’d like them to. Especially when it’s nice and tender and doesn’t take forever and a day to chew.

Before you ask yes I’m having a beer! I’m drinking a Victory Easy Ringer Lo-Cal IPA. It’s a nice #beer to have when I don’t want something heavy like a true IPA, or a Guinness, but still want the taste of an IPA with that lighter feel.

I hear a rumble of thunder but I think the thunderstorms moving off to our south. I should pull the jeep out because it’s loaded with bugs and it needs a nice bath. Easy Peezy I wouldn’t have to break out a sponge. LOL yeah right.

Oh it’s time to head in and eat my dinner. It does look like the thunderstorms are moving off to the south and may miss us. That would be nice so Molly doesn’t have to freak out. She’s terrified of thunderstorms.

Molly panting and shaking due to a thunderstorm. Fun times when this happens in the middle of the night or even ALL night long. Need my beauty sleep!

Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!

About Me ~ The Artist

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.

Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.

For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
