I love the stone candleabra. I have never seen one. That sky looks like what I woke up to today, except less sun peeking through. Your kitties look like ours, underfed, underloved, overworked, and underpaid. Yeah, right (we spoil ours too!)
I made the stone candle sculpture with a drill and objects found at my local beach. We had the big earthquake before I made it, so it hasn't been through a temblor. I'm glad you like it. The stones are serpentine, the most common mineral around here.

Just look at those adorable faces! Beautiful they are, as well. Good news on the Daisy front. She's treatable and being treated and things are on the up. She is eating well, her meds are easy to administer and most importantly, she's got the flicker back in her tail and the light in her eyes.

I see you know Kary (above). I wondered since you come from the same place, if you were friends. We only recently met and have warmed to each other.
Oh I love the kitties indeed!! Thank you for sharing your part of the world, it allows me to see in and look around and know that we're all connected...you are amazing Chris, truly!

I'm a recovering Lutheran
"This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise.

My AA Recovery Story
I got sober in 1990 after a life of drug and alcohol addiction, and I had 15 wonderful years. Then I moved and left my homegroup behind. I didn't replace my sponsor, who had died. I didn't work with newcomers, and I went to only one meeting a week. Ultimately, I didn't stay sober. I experienced that strange mental twist, and I picked up. But I jumped back into the program, and my life has continually gotten better. I'm married to a man with 23 years of sobriety, and we work our program at home. AA is the hub the wheel of my life revolves around. I've been able to explore a creative side of my personality that once lived only under the influence of drugs. I have perfect moments during each of my precious days. We are none of us invulnerable to that strange mental twist that precedes the first drink, and all that stands between us and the drink is our constant thought of others. My prayer these days is: God, do your will in and through me today. If I can be an inspiration to others, then my life is rich. God bless you all.
Rosebud on Ice
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. (Anne Bradstreet)

What happens to that beautiful stone candelabra in an earthquake?
Those cats are the cutest, they look young, it must be wonderful to be greeted at the door by them!

that stone candleabra is really cool. i could sit and stare. do you ever add to it or change it up as you find other treasures?
It is often not clearly visible this right track ours, yet when it appears you never seem to hesitate to set your foot upon it Chris.
Be Well
