T Tuesday

 

 Hi Everyone!

 Today is Tuesday and that means a day with Elizabeth and Bleubeard.

 

It's actually Monday evening. Mr. M. and I had to drive to Coos Bay to do a bit of grocery shopping. When we returned home we stopped at Fred Meyers to fill the car with gas. OMG!!!! Gas is $4.53 a gallon. That's a 60 cent decrease for my town. The gas is higher in Coos Bay. Plus we had 40 cents a gallon off. Yay!!!!!  We will see how long it lasts but for today I'm happy with this. 

 

Our garbage is picked up on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday I noticed this long before the pick up.

Yes, the bear is back on our street.

He/she removed two bags and carried them into the neighbors yard. We cleaned it all up. What a hassle. Since I get up first around here. I will haul the can out to the curb tomorrow morning. The bear can have some one else's garbage. 

 

A few meals from this week.

 

Meatballs with boiled red potatoes and green beans. 

 

One night I had 2 cheese grilled sandwhich

with tomato soup. Not fancy but it was good.  

 

One night I roasted a whole chicken. Here it is resting. 

and the meal. Now that I look at the photo this is a colorless meal. But it tasted so good. 

 

I used some of the left over chicken to make chicken  fajita burritos. Homemade beans and some rice. I didn't have time to make Mexican rice.  

 

One day I made kidney friend blueberry muffins for Mr. M. 
 He really liked them. 

 

I topped them with Splenda brown sugar.  

 

Tomorrow I will be canning all day.

Can't wait to get started. 

 

Here is my drink. A 7 up treat. 

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
 

Monster Monday

Welcome to 

I was going to show a different kind of monster today, but decided to go with the fun monsters. Yes, I'm talking about the real life, truly horrendous  monsters that have the next few months to do some real evil in this country and in the world. The "thing" and his butt buddies have already begun. 

But like I wrote above let's go with fun monsters.  

Credit to all of the Pinterst artists. 

 

Cute couple 

 

Not a beauty.  

Too much GLP 

 

Give me your face

My friends

 

Some pretties

 

 

 

 

 

That's it for now. Have a very nice Monday.

Sunday in the Art Room SITAR

 Welcome to

SITAR is about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography, the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique it must be done with generosity and consideration. This is a place of learning, encouragement and inspiration. 

 

Street art or murals are some of the most outstanding and creative pieces of art free to the public. It's true for Eugene, Oregon too.

 

Since 2022 there are more than 40 murals installed by various artists from around the world. The murals focus on giving visibility to cultural heritages and bringing vitality to Eugene during the pandemic. 

Here is the time line. Before the pandemic 2016-2019

 was the peak period of creation. Because the original goal was to reach 20 murals ahead of the world athletics championships, the city moved quickly. By the summer of 2019, the project had already outpaced its baseline goal, installing more than 20 major artworks 

 

 2020–2022 the pandemic slowed international artist travel significantly, forcing municipal art events—like the city's annual Visual Arts Week—to adjust to remote and socially distanced formats. However, final localized work and finishing touches continued through 2021 and 2022 to coincide with the delayed World Athletics Championships.
 The city has three programs that have created murals. Community Murals, The Urban Canvas Program and the 20x21 Mural Project.

Here are a few more.

 

Here are all of the murals.

Hope you enjoyed the art.
  

 I will be joining Gillena  

 

It's time to show me your art.
