Baby Squirrel to Moonlit Beach

Still hitting the street looking for a new job. Had one interview and assessment for an investment firm and waiting to hear the decision. Today I have an interview for a Spa Manager - may be the perfect fit for me with my dedication to fashion and makeup!

In the wildlife category, came home one day and discovered a baby squirrel eating peanuts at the base of our big tree. Was even able to pick him up! Placed him in the tree to see if Mama would show up; unfortunately, that didn't occur so I placed a request looking for squirrel help on Facebook. People were coming out of the woodwork wanting to care for the baby orphan! 

First person had experience and her husband works right across the street so we delivered the little critter directly to him. Knowing the squirrel was being properly cared for let us sleep much better.



Pigeons galore! Today I counted over 120 who came to feed. Perhaps it's the rain that's the reason for the increase in numbers.  We typically have 30 or so pigeon piglets so this many is surprising.






Grabbed an old painted canvas from the garage to redo it. Originally painted an ocean sunset scene; after a discussion with art expert Sam, decided to revise it into a moonlit scene. Love the way it turned out!

Sunset scene - Sam referred to the yellow reflection on the deck as a "pee stain!"

Revised moonlit painting.

Found an additional black and white photo to watercolor and embroider.

Sam, Jimmy, and Christian, along with Hazely, stopped by to help us with a light fixture issue. Those three are hilarious!  Jimmy flaunted his new pink hair, which he dyed for October Breast Cancer Awareness Month.




Finally tackled a job on my to-do list - clean and organize the garage! This is actually the after pic - moved and stacked containers against the wall, tossed out tons of garbage, and made the Christmas decor accessible.  Only 70 days to Christmas!


Couple of months ago we were at Manny's dentist. They had a huge abstract rug that was beautiful and similar to the acrylic pour paintings I create. Took a picture, Googled it, and found the rug on Amazon. Isn't it gorgeous?


Last week our newer neighbor lady flagged me down to give me a couple snack packs of Lay's new flavor potato chips. Didn't realize she worked there but appreciated the thought. Two days later I opened the front door and there was a huge Target bag filled to burst with a variety of chips! Yummy surprise!


That's the excitement for now!
