LET IT RAIN

I finished an art piece that I have struggled with for al most a month. It’s of a couple. He has a half white beard — larder that it seems since with colored pencil you must leave white what you want to be white. It’s easier to add it later, but his hair was nothing compared to hers. I’ve never tried to paint platinum before. All painting is a blend of colors — but what colors. I finally came close. The lavender helped. I know. It makes no sense. I hope this means I’m more consistent with my postings.

The weirdness here has not stopped. Olivia is hiding out on her room. When she sneaks out she visits a resident in their room to tell than she hopes they don’t hate her. However, she takes not responsibility for any of her actions. She is not guilty of anything and never did anything to anyone. Or so she says.

We have really had the rain in our area, lots of it. Sunday was the worst. If was already flooding in the area but it poured on Sunday, buckets full at a time. This is the northwest. It’s going to rain and rain a lot. But we are destined for fine rain. Little sprinkles, the occasional light spitting. It can do that all day, day in and day out, but it is not suppose to dump water like the floodgates have been opened. It is only December.

The Home is situated on a bay. Old guests recall the day the b ay overflowed. Some were worried. We could see it rising. The little park just south of us has a boar ramp and dock. The lower boat tie up portion of the dock was under water. I didn’t know any of this until my son-in-law called to say he was coming to town to pick me up and take me to their place to decorate the tree. I could see it was raining, but he insisted saying water was over the roads and it was pretty bad. I argued a bit (its and independence thing) before giving in. His wipers were on hit and doing a lousy job. None of the road water was very deep. Of course, it wasn’t raining on the return home and the roads were clear.

On the 11:00 weather report about rain in the area they were quoting figure like .09, 1.65, 1.98 and only one over 2”. They never commented on the 5.89” inches on the screen behind them and it was our area. I guess it was more important to talk about where there was serious flooding. We got the rain, but not the damage.

And the rain keeps coming. What happened to a white Christmas?
