this morning
as i stumbled half asleep still
in to the kitchen
i could swear i was being stared at.
something or someone
outside
was staring
at
me.
i have to be careful
and check the backyard
for our neighborhood
feathered friend
that eats small
critters
before i let the girls out.
i was even thinking it was the
girls
that were staring at me
since they sleep
on a pillow
by the back door.
just as i walked over
to open the door to let the girls
out to potty
i spotted
the source
of that creepy
being stared at feeling
this little guy was
sitting on the doohickey
of our french door
i figured he would hippity-hop
on his way once i let the girls out
but nope
he stayed put.
i headed back to grab my camera
assuming he would be long gone
upon my return
but nope
still there
he stayed around all morning
and afternoon
giving me a chance to
do a photo shoot.
poor bertie wanted to come outside and play
too.
the poor little guy was probably hoping
i would invite him in for a
bit since even
in the shade
the heat was beyond
miserable.
i headed back in
and looked back
to see
him looking in
i felt guilty
he almost seemed to be saying
please let me in
with those little beady eyes of his
hoping the passing storms brought a bit of relief to
the little guy
i am sure he appreciated the moisture.
the first round of storms left as quickly as they came
i love watching storm clouds build.
these are some lockets that sat over night in a vinegar/salt and mulch
mixture. i made the mistake of not wiping the wet mulch off
thinking it would be best to let it dry for a few hours
found out the verdigris came right off as well, oops!
still like how they look, but i stuck them back in
the mulch to build up a bit more patina
think my research is just about done
and i am ready to start writing
the tutorial.
as much as i have had fun experimenting and playing
i think i am ready to move on to another tutorial.
until next time
smooches to ya.
