Koi Fish and Dragonfly Gate 
Portraits of two of our Koi Fish
Art made this koi fish and dragonfly gate for our 30th wedding anniversary. I was surprised and delighted that Art carved portraits of two of our koi fish into the gate. We have been sheltering at home since March and having a backyard oasis has been our escape. As winter settles in, the yard is not so lush but we continue to enjoy it under the warmth of outdoor patio heaters.
A rainy day for ducks -2017 
Lily and Nasturtium
Several years ago, two ducks would visit our pond. They haven’t come in a few years but this year the crows and the hummingbirds visit. Our yard has been great for socially distant family gatherings and our immediate family of 7 will celebrate Thanksgiving outside this year. The weather is predicted to be 61 degrees and sunny. Yeah for long underwear and patio heaters!

A caution tape family divide – Mother’s Day
I have two bearded dragons as pets and in the spring and into late summer they love grazing in the clover. We lost our sweet Hoochie Poochie this March and I adopted two other dragons soon after.

May your lives be filled with both thanks and giving this holiday season.
