"Jack and Amy Tuso~AT Studio Plaque"
This sculpture in Fountain Hills Park is quickly filling up with donation plaques for the "Greening Of Downtown" project. Our leaf was added a few weeks ago...top right corner spot.
The day that I stopped to read the plaques, specifically looking if ours had been added, the wind chime enclosed in the center of the sculpture started to lightly chime...almost as if telling me "I'm here!".
Normally at this time of the morning I would be walking around the park...but BRRRRRRR! Our current temperature is 29 degrees with wind chills of 16 degrees.
Just before Jack was getting ready to leave the house, our power went out...not something that normally happens here in sunny, warm, power lines buried under ground Fountain Hills! The house was suddenly pitch black and weird.
I have to laugh at Jack and myself...we lived on the southern coast of NJ most of our lives and were used to bad weather, howling winds, pounding rains...days of rains, ice, snow and yes, extended power outages.
We definitely have become desert lizards....skittish ones at that!
The cold temperature, mixed with the high winds has me wishing I wasn't going out today...jeez! I mean good grief...the skies are blue, the sun is shining, the power is back on and the temperature for the day will reach mid 40's. Get a grip! And so, I'm off to pull up my big girl pants and head out for a day of painting with two of my best girlfriends...I'll just be wearing several, maybe 3-4 layers of clothes to keep my lizard thermostat moderated..............
I will be posting the oil painting that I'm presently creating on my website within the week.

Have a great day, stay warm and feel the inner heat of love...Blessings...Amy
