so much for new year's resolutions ....

oh well, i missed a few days, huh?  i've been busy trying to take care of danny as he recovers from his surgery. he's been on the camped on the couch downstairs since he came home the day after surgery.  he tried the stairs for the first time the other day- going up on his butt.  sadiedog, always deeply & directly honest, has been sleeping downstairs with him - i am definitely not feeling the love.  as of today, he is getting restless.  he's tired of tv & cannot concentrate long enough to really do some reading.  he returns to work tuesday.  he's been patient & relatively cheerful & generally it's been a pleasure to take care of him.  of course, there have been moments...  & we still have a ways to go...


now onto the next topic with no transition whatsoever....



look at these - aren't they fantastic?  they are 3-dimensional chalk drawings on the sidewalk of various places.  i first became aware of these when my friend cathy wilson sent them to me in an email.  a little bit of detective work on the web- never too hard to find things, eh- & i turned up the artist's name- julian beever, an british lad  they are pretty amazing, are they not?  these are just a sampling of what i found.  if you google julian beever, you can find many other examples of this very unique drawing style & venue.
