RAIN, Jonathan Meese, What I'm reading


It's a rainy (I can't believe it!! I can't believe it's raining!!) springlike day. Excuse my excitement, but we've been in a drought for over 2 years. It never rains here, so this is truly exciting. The ground is sopping wet, and I am happy dancing around my studio. I LOVE RAIN. I love rain sooo much.

It's going to be 66F today, and 68F 75!!! tomorrow. Makes me wonder if spring is here. February is a weird month here in Kansas. It can be very spring-like, in the 80s, like the past two years, or it can be very very cold and wintry. There were a couple years, we got a ton of snow and ice in February, so one can never tell. All I know is IT'S RAINING!!! and that means it's going to be a GREAT day. la la laaa la laaa

When I checked my email a couple days ago, I noticed Greg had sent me a link to this video. The first 20 seconds in, I thought..what the heck? I'm not watching this!! It seems a bit nutty, and I was really groggy from taking Benadryl, and not fully functioning. Another minute, and I was like, wow, who is this guy? I was completely sucked in, and reading every word of the subtitles. By the end of the video, the Benadryl had worn off, my internal battery was completely charged up, and I was ready to paint!! I LOVE this guy!! I'm not sure I understood every word he said, but he definitely has some very valid points.

Book I'm reading: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott She's a very interesting lady. You can read Secrets & Surprises about her here. If you don't know much about her, like me, her not so secret secrets will surprise you. It's hard to believe she lived so long ago. She appears to be so very modern.

You can get the book free for your Kindle, or in my case, Android here. You can probably also download it to your computer, and read from there, if you don't have a tablet. Read along with me, won't you? I'm only on the 3rd chapter, so you can catch up quickly.

  1. Great video, watching him does make you want to start flinging paint around.

    Little Women was one of my favorite books growing up, I must have read it a dozen times.

  2. Hi Carlarey! Everyone tells me the book is wonderful. I don't know why it's taken me this long to read it. My mother used to have a copy on the bookshelf, so I have no excuse.
