It's Been So Long
Hey folks! I walked away from here for some much needed down time from online stuff. This place can definitely be overwhelming. I've been busy with life in general and dealing with some physical issues because I did something stupid, lol. At any rate, I'm planning to slowly get back to hanging out a few times a week and posting when I have time to make stuff. Finally got a decent computer to replace my old beast. The computer I had been using just didn't cut it. Now I get to play with iRay, which is a whole learning process. But a fun one to be sure. I'll never catch up on all the deviations posted suring my absence, nor am I even going to try. I do have to say thanks for all the faves to my images even through I've not been around. Hope this note finds you all well! See you soon! Mel
Happy Holidays!
Wishing you all a safe and wonderful holiday season in whatever way you celebrate!! And the very best for the new year!
Hello all.
It’s been a while. I hope this post finds you all well and enjoying life. I took a break from Facebook after losing our Great Pyr, Hugo. And when we lost our little Puggle Mae in June, I just walked away from online period. I needed time to heal from losing all our critters, having lost Harry our kitty the year before. I had no inspiration to make any art at all (other than a few commissions). But, it is summer here. And summer means flowers, herbs and veggies in my little garden. So I spent the last couple of months working on our little yard. I made a nice fire pit area for those cool nights and the coming fall. I basically worked on some of the projects I had been wanting to get to for a while now. It helped me deal with my grief. I have more projects I want to do, like some more work on my fire pit area, but some will have to wait till next summer. I mean our property is over 100 years old, so there is stuff that needs to get done inside and out. At any rate, I’m working my
Silence
Apologies for my absence, my staggered presence over the last few months. On June 5th we said farewell to our last companion. It was one of the hardest goodbyes I’ve ever been present for. Mae was a Puggle with so much spirit and heart that I’m not sure how her little body contained it all. She was only 10 when she passed on, taken from us all too soon by an extremely aggressive inflammatory mammary cancer. She was diagnosed in the beginning of April, and right up until the morning we took her to the vet for that final farewell, I was doing everything I could to help her including daily palliative care. That meant rounds of meds and herbs used on people, as well as morning and evening care and changes of the bandages used to cover the open tumors. The vet, whose one of the best I know, could not even do surgery because there was not enough skin to close. It was exhausting to look at that every single day. I knew deep down what the end result would be, but I still tried and
