Look at what I got back from the framer today!
Didn’t she turn out beautifully?! Thanks to Penny at Stitches from the Heart for doing such a wonderful framing job!

More Interesting Weather |
We had more interesting weather today in West Texas Town. About 4:00 it began to rain… and then hail (again)!
The pea-sized hailstones came down for about 20 minutes and turned the ground outside so white that if I wouldn’t have known better I would have thought I was seeing snow outside the library at the end of May!
And just to prove it, the photo on the left is an exceedingly bad picture taken with my phone’s camera.
Crazy, eh?!

Desert Rainbow |
It rained here in West Texas Town this evening. Pretty hard too. We had hail for a while and I worried that it might ding my car. (Note to self: Need to double check that in the morning.) Once the rain stopped and it was getting near sunset I noticed that funky after-the-storm light peeping through the curtains. I got up to look and, lo and behold, I saw my first desert rainbow.
The colors were gorgeous and I think for once the camera actually did them some justice. I just wish that all the ugly power lines weren’t in the picture too. But I live in the middle of town and with rainbows if you try and jump in your car to find a good spot to take that perfect picture, well, chances are the rainbow will be gone before you know it.

A Rare Occurrence |
It’s a dilemma: Should I post the picture of the stitching happy dance that I had tonight or a picture of something that happened at my house that is rarer than a dodo in captivity?

From the Knees Down |
A while back someone tagged me to do the sixth picture thing, so even though I am pulling it from Flickr, here is the sixth picture from the sixth folder in my “My Pictures” folder.
This is a picture of the tattoo on my upper left ankle and was taken by Leonard, my friend Maria’s husband, in the front yard of my house in Mississippi in the summer of 2001.
I remember the day the picture was taken. Maria and Leonard had come over to my house to grill out and Leonard had his new digital camera with him. The fact that he had a digital camera in the summer of 2001 was sort of a big deal because they were pretty expensive and most of the people I knew were still using 35mm cameras.
Anyway, after Leonard had taken about a hundred pictures of Maria and me goofing off, he got kind of “arty” and had me pose for this picture. This is exactly how the picture was taken (in other words, no Photoshop cropping)… from the knees down.
