Monsoon Season

We heard on the radio yesterday that the beautiful sunrises of late are due to the changes in the atmosphere with the coming monsoon season.  The weather news is all about the coming monsoon season, full of safety tips, warning signs, and dates to be alert.  It reminds me a lot of the tornado preparedness season when I lived in Minnesota.  Whatever the reason for the beauty, I'll take it.




My internal clock must be set to read daylight.  I've been up and out of bed at precisely 5:20 am every day for a couple of weeks now.  The good thing about that is that I not only get to see the pretty sunrises, I get to see the few four-o-clocks that are blooming in the low-lighted and cooler part of the day:




This snail flower vine has been a real find.  We love the way it has taken over the shepherd's hook and is blooming madly:


And, let's see... what am I working on in the "treehouse"?  A collage on canvas, metal "fabric" similar to a Rebekah Meier technique, the Petie bird from Frowning Francis patterns, and sculpting ala Linda Hollerich :





Only the Petie bird is finished.  It seems I'm still dealing with my fear of finishing.
