Hey
Missed ya all..... Been busy with the things I like...wrote a whole big list and one wrong move of my wrist and poof....gone (lol)...
So try agaiTn...
I like the damaged tree in the middle that has now become a work of art. I like that the girl across the street likes to paint also. She saw me with a paint brush in my hand and before you knew it...two days ...out door creations. The tree with damage now has a Winnie the Pooh with a honey pot stuck on his head, behive, bee's, even the cartoon balloon (oh bother!) painted in the damged (but healed) tree...The boulder right under this tree has now become a brown bear that looks like he is heading toward my gate (behind it). The gate/fence is now red. The sneakers that one of my children hung over the branch is still there. They were about 7 years old at the time. This area was Thier Area. Many games, colors, just chats (sitting in bathing suits, snow suits) so many hours just being thiers. It's still thier's although they have grown up I still see the older ones when them come back to visit and neighbor's come to talk (don't know how but we wind up at this tree) and my teen son and his friends still wind up at this tree. So many memories, so much life being lived, so much laughter....that we revived it..... My D is engaged and I'm sure that she will have little ones that will sit where she and her brothers once sat enjoying this ...Kids special place. Maybe we'll even find a pair of grand kids shoes in that tree one day. The pool had sand added to one side (a beach) with lounge chairs, sand chairs, painted rocks (turtles, snails, crabs) even sea shells have been placed, including the surf board against the (red fence) and of course the Lights....The flamingo that was bought for my D on her 17th birthday by her friend had been revived. It moves. It's head goes up and down and the wings go in and out. It's pink again with hot pink lights inside that looks awesome in the dark. Oh yes my D loves flamingo's. Her 4 ft flamingo that has long eyelashes, ponytail,sunglasses, hat and flip flops has been revived also. If my D was a flamingo this would be her. They now are at the beach in the yard by the pool. I'm really enjoying this and the girl across the street has just landed herself some good jobs in the neighborhood. Neighbors had been wondering what we were doing so intense in the driveway and against tree's (lol) that they came down to look and she can make herself some pretty good money. She is a single parent and a cancer surviver...She is healthy now and we were meant to be out there and I believe this is her path...She does incredible work and loves it so ...........even the worn out tables look new and are Us...painted brown with owl in the middle, the other, branches with little pink flower's...We on a roll and I love it...Everything is looking great, welcome, nature, memories, magical.......and it is.....Inside out is telling stories of Our lives...and now the neighbors's some of thiers...paintings are showing whom they are...cat's...farm animals and barns painted on an old milk can...The anchor in the yard of the man down the block that spend's his summers on his beloved boat. I'm loving these nice days (although it's raining now) just took some work inside.
