                            Day Two of the New Me!
Sitting here with my coffee listening to the latest noise infractions in my neighborhood!  The PROBLEM is that we live on the inside of a hairpin turn so we only have one next door neighbor, but FIVE, count 'em!, five neighbors across the street on the long side of the hairpin.  Well, unbelievably all five across the street people either have just finished , are in the middle of, or going to start an addition to the back with a water view.  Can't say as I blame them, but one guy did it, showed it off to the neighborhood and every one who saw it is now on that bandwagon.  Of course it also is including five different 'while-we're-at-it' projects like new roofs or redoing all the landscaping, or paining the house-  extra stuff.  And every house can have at any given moment three or four trucks parked 'across' from my house on both sides of the street.  This has been going on since last spring.  The final insult is that the house next door sold last spring and guess what-  they are redoing their pool deck, grill area, and interior kitchen.  More trucks, yesterday the drywall guy was there from 7 am until 6 pm.  Today it appears they are power washing the roof which sounds like being locked in a steel drum going over the falls.  Save us from the reno!

Humble fields become abstracted artworks in thread paintings by Victoria Rose Richards. The artist uses a combination of tight, straight lines and lush French knots to emulate the rural patterning of closely-cropped fields divided by hedges and woods. Richards, who is 21 years old and based in South West Devon, U.K., draws inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her. “My art is influenced by my love of the environment and conservation, which I developed during my biology degree I completed this year,”

We were going to have a dog show here but too many things got jammed into the schedule so it was canceled.  I was asked again to decorate a dog to be auctioned off to raise funds for a local shelter, and that part of the dog show was not cancelled!  Here is RinTinTin-tin-
and I was informed today he has a little bidding war over him!  Yeaaa!

And that's all I have today
