checking the Cal Fire website
from another house

We're all safe enough
under evacuation
                                     but
more lightning is expected


Views from my back yard:

August 19, 2020 3:01 a--light where light shouldn't be at three in the morning



About a quarter of the things we brought with us to our refuge are art or art supplies of one kind or another--framed art by our kids, one really special black and white photograph, a crate of block printing and water color supplies, two favorite guitars, a viola, and two sets of bagpipes (There are people out there who would say to leave the bagpipes to the fire. Some would leave the viola to keep the pipes company. You know who you are.) I dropped a few of my, um, priceless beginner paintings into the painting crate.

Some pieces that I didn't bring:





Anyway, I kind of love that I have so far to go in developing any kind of skill with painting. I definitely won't get bored!
