Funny thing about that weather. Yesterday on the half-past five morning first dog walk of the day the weather was clear-skied, star-studded crisp and thirty-three degrees. Then again, at the morning nine o’clock second dog walk of the day, it was sunny, cloudless and crispy cold at a staggering twenty-four degrees.
My Reader impatiently asks, Where’s the funny part?
I could not tell the difference, I answer.
My Reader sighs. Then tell me about that BIRD IN A BOWL.
Oh…weather or not…I wouldn’t give that a lot of thought. How about I just stay in touch…
Sigh.
Wünsche eine gute neue Woche lieber Gruß Gislindehttps://zitroneblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/blumen00021.gif?w=950

I really like your painting. The triangles and rectangles and circles and squares and all of it topped with vibrant color! …except those three black birds soaring. That little bird would do well to stay hidden a while longer.

Good Morning Raye … Trying to do a bit of catch up … Timely on this one because I see where more than a tad of rain is in your area … Then again it is the season, but not that much! Much color in this one .. the two aspects that capture my eyes (for whatever reason) are the sun/birds combo & the diagonal on the wall … and your new gravitar image is delivering British wit by starring me down. 😉 Cheers to the Rose Queen.

you walk your dog at 5:30 in the morning????? And then again at 9:00? Or am I being too literal. Wouldn’t be the first time. Won’t be the last.
Love the painting Raye. The vertical line with the rectangles, circles and patterns make my eyes dance. Love this.

As days grow colder, it becomes the perfect time and temperature to ask questions such as “So, tell me about the bird in the bowl…” The colors and angles of your painting make it possible to enjoy the beauty of life from a different perspective than if on a perfect sunny, summer day. Wishing you well R.

We have gray days as well that seem to last months and months. That’s because they do! Grinning. That’s why you and I, Jensine, live in places where GREEN leafy things grow abundantly.

Raye, when you are picking up dog poop, the weather is less relevant, especially when it is as cold as sh*t. Just hurry up dog….. Either that bird is thirsty and drank all the water, can swim while standing or is behind an empty bowl. It is all an illusion to me now. All the best and may your dogs poop and pee quickly. Keith

OK, I’m confused. Perhaps too cold to press the keys? Actually similar to here. Clear, crisp, and 22 degrees yesterday on the way up the hill to the show, today, just as cold, just as clear, and me? I’m just as cold. My tea doesn’t seem to be doing the job of warming my innards.
