You know its fall when Skelly Bone-ita makes an appearance! She stays up until January or February or March. I just keep adding decorations until the entire holiday season is over. (She did not make an appearance last fall. I don’t remember why)

If the united states government isn’t willing to protect California from a war started by the United States government, i see no reason that California shouldn’t immediately begin secession proceedings. All Californians should immediately change their federal tax withholdings to the minimum amount

Take the quiz. Put in the most unreasonable answers. Demand public funds. Will you be able to open a school Idaho? Spoiler Alert: yes

Wallowa Lake, Oregon I barely finished the painting yesterday before the sun set, and the photo I posted last night was taken in horrible light. I felt compelled to post a better image because i just really love how it turned out.

Home. Super duper fun trip. Spent quite a bit of time watching the kokanee spawn, which will be the subject of an upcoming painting. Collected so many fun leaves. I’m going to use them for a collage. Not sure exactly what yet, though. Moms will be here for the next 3.5 weeks.

Robin and I went for a swim this afternoon. We had the entire lake to ourselves. No boats. No shore walkers. No one but the fish and the birds. A treasure of an afternoon.

It will cost me approximately $13 to drive to Wallowa State Park. Some people can’t even get out of the city for $13. Sorry about your gas prices.

We should make a definitive plan and a pool of party money for that day - you know the day to which i refer. Because you people been through the trenches with me and there is no one i will want to celebrate with more.

This is going to be my setup for collecting and preserving leaves on my trip. I got the tupperware ($6) and the baskets ($1.50) at the dollar store. The baskets are to hold the leaves under the glycerin solution. I’ll store the box in the car for easy access

I should be packing. Instead, i made a page for my art journal. Because its my very first real painting using the sunflower paint and I’m tickled about the whole situation. In all fairness, it was to decide whether i was going to take the sunflower paint with me or not.

The first watercolor paint that i have made myself. Using Sunflowers. I tried using the petals. I’m not sure whether it was the exctraction method or the material. That experiment failed. This was from the middle. I LOVE the color. I can’t wait to see what other colors i can get.

I am two days away for leaving to go see my mamas and 5 solid days of mountains. We are meeting at Wallowa Lake. I cannot focus on anything. I’m so excited.

So you wanna do some Fall crafty art with me? 1. Buy some vegtable glycerin. I bought a gallon for $30. 2. Collect some leaves and preserve them. 3. Use leaves to make art. I’ll make more posts about it as i go along. And you can do it with me, if you want to. It will be so much fun!

Three greens and a purple cost me $50. Probably going to need to have an art sale soon so i can afford more art supplies.

I am oog. Out of green. I am leaving in a few days for autumn camping trip. Which means there is no time to order more green. Which means i have to buy a new brand of green from the art store. Drama. Watercolor paints are fickle and have character. Takes a while to build trust.

I got a dentist light for the art table. Ok, its a ring light, but its basically a dentist light with a phone holder. I am moving ever so slow on this painting, but I’ll probably finish it today. Maybe.

Oh, someone has found the whales again! Every so often, the whales resurface for a breath of fresh air. Kudos to the person who went that far back in my timeline! I painted the whales october of 24. I was so sad that fall that i didn’t paint again until i showed up here in march of 25. I ❤️ bsky.

In order to save exposing random people to my bad attitude this week, I’ve been working amazon because i talk to zero people on that job. Anyway, me and my bad attitude caught an absolutely beautiful equinox sunset farm scene while driving last night. So I’m painting it. Bad attitude and all.

Parents can’t tell the children to be quiet when they are playing the drums with grandma. Also, if the drumsticks accidentally get lost, grandmas are VERY good at finding even louder replacements. #ILoveBeingAGrandmaAndAnnoyingMyKid

Grieving today. An ex-lover who i adored, but whose drinking problem interfered with our friendship. I texted him on July 4th to remind him that there were people waiting for him on the other side of recovery if he ever wanted out. He did not make it out. And my heart hurts.

The kids all have strep throat. I have thoroughly prepared for sick kid seasons, fortunately. Of course, they are on antibiotics, we aren’t anti-science. But I’m also brewing a support tea of thyme, oregano, and yarrow. And I’ve got a batch of elderflower honey.

Yep. It’s a good, fun life. 10/10. Highly recommend. Of course, if someone came along that could meet our standards, then I’m sure we could make room for them.

Marci has a squirrel. I’m jealous of her squirrel. I couldn’t sleep last night (for reasons that have nothing to do with squirrels). So i made a little squirrel with a couple agates i had laying around the house.

I just spent $150 for me and the dog (who eats real food, not dog food) at the grocery store for one weeks worth of groceries. My junk food was $20. The rest was fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. Didn’t even buy nuts this week. So yeah, its no surprise the feds raised the interest rate.

Sends knives into factory to be sharpened. Gets knives back. Promptly cuts finger. Good thing I’ve got yarrow and i know how to use it. Looked like a murder scene in here for a minute.

While searching for something entirely else, i found this limpit in my art stash and then, of course, all other tasks were put on hold until i made a little mushroom necklace.

I found an abandoned pear tree today. The pears are delicious, although many have been pre-tasted by worms and birds. I don’t mind, though.

I now subsist entirely on apple chips. The giant cosmic crisps on sale at Winco make the best apple chips I’ve ever eaten. Slice on the mandolin, into the dehydrator, 160 for 10 hours. One apple is two trays. You will need all the trays. Because you will eat all the apples.

Oof. I used the biggest piece of paper i can work on without breaking out the big painting setup. There is a lot of fine detail. My poor eyes. Its going to be a lot of painting with a teeny tiny paintbrush.
