Many Photographs

Today I have mass quantities of photos.  I do have things to say, but I am still thinking about them.

More art has arrived.  The three small canvases on the right are new.  They are at that particular height because they're covering up holes left by the previous owner.  I would have centered them on the vertical height of the niche, but then the holes would have been visible.  Probability is low that we will ever paint this wall.

These are the individual canvases.  This one is grainy, which I expected, since the original was cropped way down.  It's an agave we used to have at the other house before the guys doing the pavers hit it with a front loader, repeatedly.

This one surprises me in its lack of crispness.  It was not cropped, and had lots of pixels.  I got them from Easycanvasprints dot com.  I've ordered one more from them.  If they don't do better, I will not use them again. 

The dressers are looking less like hotel furniture and more like some where people live.  Yesterday we went to a restaurant supply store for some small bowls to sit in a tray that used to have plant pots in it, so that I have some place to put my watch, the wedding rings and etc.  Then we got frames at Walmart.  Amazon frames get pretty bad reviews.  The Walmarts aren't bad, and we did curbside pickup so I did not have to go in there.

See?  People live here.

I love the middle bowl.  It was the only one left, or I would have bought three.

All of my people pictures are backed up on a hard drive in Spokane.  So I went with the prints I brought with me.

The sunset is from the Ten Star house. 

This is Beau.  His owner got him four years ago on Boxing Day from a foster home.  He's a cool dog. Very placid.  He reminds me of Olga.  We see them walking in the neighborhood a lot.

Our citrus trees are making food.  This is a pink grapefruit - it has really thick skin.  The oranges are also ready to eat.  Lemons, not so much.

Former President Jimmy Carter has died, at 100 years old.  He was a remarkable man, both as a president and post presidency.  It's unfortunate that all of the people claiming to be christian couldn't be more like him.  He left the Southern Baptist Convention because of their position that wives had to obey their husbands.  For him, that was a big deal.  Flags will be at half staff for 30 days, including the day during which the orange mango will be inaugurated. 

Happy New Year to you all.  It's nice not being in the RV park where we spent so many years.  The nearby residents of the neighborhoods were seemingly unaware of the laws of gravity when they would shoot guns in the air.  Really, they did that.

That's it!  That's all I have to say.
