Another day, another painting!
Loggerhead turtles are such beautiful creatures.
Awkward on the earth, so graceful in the sea.
The turtle nesting season here is over.
The nests should be hatched by October.
We were at a Shrimp Festival one year in October and heard about a hatching going on.
Most of the time, they hatch at night, on a full moon so the babies can see the water and
hopefully head in the right direction.
Sometimes the Shrimp Festival is so hot.
One year the heat index was 122 degrees.
It was hard to be chipper and fresh in that kind of heat.
Other times, it's been a bit on the chilly side.
The wind is definitely a factor as well.
Weights are a requirement weighing at least 40 pounds.
One for each leg.
That means we have to carry 8 weights to the show.
My van will be filled to the top with art and equipment.
Pretty soon, we'll start laying out the parts and pieces necessary to put on a show.
I will be making a list, because otherwise I will forget something.
It gets checked off only when it is loaded into the van.
If I don't make a list, I won't be able to sleep because I keep mulling it over in my mind.
It becomes a loop of doom, because I'm worried about forgetting something.
On the dachshund side, Trixie is eager to eat now.
The other dachshunds are jealous of the tasty food she is receiving.
We have to watch, because the puppies especially will steal her food.
She's a momma dog, so she will walk away if challenged for food.
Feeding her has been an issue for a while now.
I thought it was her teeth, but it may have been the beginnings of kidney disease.
Hopefully she's on the mend now.
Praying everyone has a better week this week.
Last week was so heavy and sad.
I'm looking forward to the new week that began today with church.
Chris and I then went to lunch, and I said I wanted to go to the thrift store.
I'm looking specifically for Fanka brand leggings because they offer compression.
Hopefully I'll find some one day.
Anyway, I did find a new pair of Yoga pants.
AND
The most amazing pair of Octopus leggings in black and white!
I also found a high-end White/Black brand vest in a lovely black color.
The octopus leggings look great with the vest.
Chris approved, so I bought them all.
My thrifting heart is so happy!
