I don't normally post on Wednesday but we had a hella wicked storm last night. Yes, the whole state of Oregon is under heat advisory and Florence is like winter. The flowers, however, must like it because they are all out and beautiful. Actually I think they are looking for some sun.
The other thing, I am picking up to 60 peas a day off my plants. Who would have thought peas like this weather?
This bee is just trying to stay warm.
That's it for today. I am off to the art room. What are you doing today?

I have a lot to do today, so last night I told myself I needed to get up early today. When I woke up, I didn't look at the clock. I thought it was around 6AM. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen, where the wall clock is blaring at me it's only 4AM. Uhhhgg. Hey, I told myself I wanted to get up early so here I am. LOL.
Today is T-day with Elizabeth and I am looking forward to seeing what the T-gang are up to. For me I started a painting last night. Sometimes I know what I want to create, but last night all I knew was that I wanted to paint. Ya know with NO blue. LOL
It's a WIP and I will be making some changes to the sky. Other than that I like where this is going.
As most of you know Mr. M. has a sweet tooth. Not every night but he does like something for dessert. Since our weather has gone back to it's normal cold, I bake a spice cake for Mr. M.
Also he couldn't wait for it to cool off and frost so it is about to fall over. LOL
To get into the T party today here is my drink
Strawberry and Apple smoothie.
It was so good.
I am off to get this day started.
Wishing all of you a wonderful day.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I actually got a wish come true. The weather turned hot on the Oregon coast. I mean record breaking heat. Portland hit 112°F, Salem 113°F, Eugene 111°F, The Dalles 118°F, Roseburg 114°F, and my town Florence 83°F. with no wind. Other towns in Oregon, Washington and Canada hit record heat as well. Because the coast never gets this hot most people don't have AC in their homes. Of course people from all over came to the coast to cool off. I am watching the news right now and an interview with our city manager. She was asking people to be kind and nice. That we have all been through a lot the last 18 months and kindness goes a long way. Workers here have reported verbal and physical abuse from tourists. REALLY???
I truly think some people just need to stay home.
OooKayyyy now that I have gotten off the track,
let's look at a movie.
Danika with Marisa Tomei is a movie that takes you on some twists and turns. Marisa plays this part with excellence. And the ending...... an OMG moment.
I have seen this movie several times and I get into it everytime.
Traumatized since childhood by her brother's accidental death,
Danika Merrick (Marisa Tomei) hallucinates a bank robbery and quits her
job. Despite support from her three children and loving husband, Randy
(Craig Bierko), Danika continues to experience unnerving visions. She
seeks help from therapist Evelyn Harris (Regina
Hall). But pervasive reports of violent incidents involving children
make Danika fear for her own family, and she grows increasingly
paranoid, worrying she may be going insane.
You can watch this free on fuboTV with ads
on Crackle, Tubi TV, The Roku Channel, Popcornflix, Redbox, VUDU Free,
Peacock, Peacock Premium, FILMRISE, I think Youtube TV has it as well.
Well the rest of the state will be hot but Florence is back to normal. In the 60°s, it's already windy and cloudy.
Hope everyone has great day today.

Today is PPF and I don't have much this week. Yesterday was Mr. M's doctor's appt. in Salem. It was a tough drive yesterday and by the time we got home all I wanted to do was take a nap. These 3 hour turn around trips are starting to not be so much fun. Oh well, ya do whatcha gotta do.
While I waited in the car I did manage to draw this.
Also I painted this one this week if you haven't seen it yet.
Wishing everyone a great Friday and be sure to

Here is the finished piece of art from yesterday. This is no where near what we were suppose to paint in the class. I have it in my brain, that blue is so difficult to work with. My Nan, when teaching me about colors, told me that blues float. That blue in any shade can be difficult to bring down on the canvas.
Plus blue is just not any where near my fave color.
So I just finished it the way I wanted and hoped for the best. LOL
Since I missed posting for Movie Monday I will share one that I watched yesterday. It is one that I have seen the title of and thought...hmmm I will pass. However, I saw part of it on the Sci-Fy channel then went to Prime to watch it from the beginning. Ohhhh, I am so glad I did. "The Circle" stars Tom Hanks and Emma Watson so how can you go wrong with that? The Circle is an all encompassed social media group that is totally invasive into privacy. Some of the technology is in place right now. There are several countries that have test programs going that will change our world.....again.
This movie has a great story line and then end results is actually what should happen in real life.
Mae Holland (Emma Watson) seizes the opportunity of a lifetime
when she lands a job with the world's most powerful technology and
social media company. Encouraged by the company's founder (Tom Hanks),
Mae joins a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of
privacy, ethics and personal freedom. Her
participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes soon
starts to affect the lives and futures of her friends, family and that
of humanity.
Today, if it stops raining, I will harvest potatoes. However, right now it looks like no sunny skies for me.
