I always have to go to far and I made one into a Candy Corn Rocket... SMILE

There is a reason I am called, The MadSnapper

What's Left of our Backyard

the path to the gate into the front yard used to

Look like this, slate pathway with mowed weeds, grass and a lot of pine needles and we are

left with this. (we hope the neighbor will soon put back his privacy fence which is on the ground

we have a six foot chain link fence, that was there when we bought the house.

Due to 5 children living in that house, about 15 years ago, we ask if we could put privacy fence there and they agreed. They moved and the new owner fenced the rest of the yard and it has been a blessing.

The privacy fence has fallen down in 2  prior storms and he put it right back up.

His fence is leaning on the chain fence and we can't straighten it until he puts his back up. It is his fence, he replaced it after Irma tore down the whole fence.

The storm left 2 portions of the back side fence like this

except it was not all the way down like this until the tree people threw the pipe and 4x4 wood that used to hold a swing on top of it.

For now, I have barricaded this by dragging the metal swing, a trash can, and you can't see it but i built a fence of old boards to block access to keep this beloved dog from going through the hole.

 I am done working in the yard.

My husband is refusing adamantly to let me hire a repair person so this may stay like

this until we die.

Beau is sad over his shady yard becoming a one shade part yard. from noon until sundown, there is brilliant and still hot Florida sun, and the entire kitchen, doors and windows must be kept closed because of the heat it brings. our day are still upper 80's until sundown at 7:30

I am sad I can no longer see out the windows and enjoy the sun through the blinds shining in my kitchen. Soon December will bring cool air and I can open the blinds and enjoy the heat the sun brings.

and now we wait for rain... we are back to no rain at all and we have black beach sand. This is the 3rd fence that was crushed by the tree, its on the opposite side in the only shade we have.

Bob propped it up with a limb and a pole

Mama leaned her tools against the house and said I am DONE!

Practice POO

 No, it is not Easter, I am not doing Easter before Christmas.. Above is what I drew to practice on. I wanted to make my creations look 3-D, pop out, not look flat. I watched the tutorial SIX times

I just drew the circles and I needed 2 objects to practice with. I finally got it but the next day could not remember what I did

I drew the rabbit with circles because it was easy, and played with it for over an hour, I did a lot of rabbits, and deleted and did more, hoping if I repeated the steps it would stick in the old brain and hope now i can use this for other drawings. see how flat the back rabbits are and how the middle steps out?

When I get stressed, or sad, worried and fretting, I can stop my mind from playing videos of what IF, by drawing/painting. I is not about the finished product, it is another way to calm my thinker brain, other than reading. These are how I entertained myself during power outage

 

Sending the light, I am holding around the world by MadSnapper
hold the light high, LOVE other to bring peace

Each year when I receive notice of the annual Blog 4 Peace, the thought crosses my mind how does this help. This year I received this Link    now I know how and what to do. 

Below is part of the article on the link, read it please and to read the rest follow the link.

This year's THEME is... 

Hold The Light 

When was the last time you held the Light for someone? 

These days it seems that the whole world is stumbling around in darkness. If we listen to the loudest and most critical voices, we can easily come to that conclusion.

But it's not so.

We don't have to watch people stumble or be confused. We don't have to respond. We don't have to add to the momentum of suffering and deceit in this world by default.

 

Do you know that there are people who need you to hold the light for them?

 Hold space. Hold the line. Hold the Light. 

We're all having a hard time right now.

I'm not talking about judging them or trying to convince them to go your way - there's too much of that happening already. 

We can love people without agreeing with them. 

Can't we?
