Baby It's Cold Inside



With Christmas carols coming out of everything with a speaker this month, you are bound to get a few stuck in you head. Well, for me, I have a the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" in my head for some reason. Maybe it's because the song is so true at the moment.

Now, I know that for everyone in the northern or eastern part of the United States, you would love to have my weather. Our average at the moment is around 45-50 degrees, but it will get
up to 60 at some point and 80 on a rare day! However, to me, this is freezing! [The 40º not the 80º 😉] Since a normal summer day for us is in the 90s or the 100s, we are about to freeze to death here! At the moment, I am wearing a t-shirt, a light hoodie, and a sweater all at the same time and am still chilled! Our dogs don't like the temperature change right now either, because it is both cold and rainy, which means they can't stay outside very long. We noticed that they both felt cold inside one night, actually, so we tried to give them covers like this.

However, this last only an average of five minutes before they stand up and it falls off. We also tried to put on some doggie sweaters, which Bo doesn't mind much, but which Argos pulls off almost immediately. So, as you can see, neither I nor my dogs are particularly good at staying warm in the cold weather.

Just thought I would share the temperature around us right now and some funny pictures of my dogs. How is your weather right now? Feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook with any thoughts or opinions you have.

    It is definitely "cold"! I don't miss the 100's from summer, but I wouldn't mind staying in the 70's and 80's for a while. And, those sure are some cute puppies!

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...

CBP Prohibited and Restricted Items

Recently we went to a Back to School festival near to us. At the event, they had a car show, snacks, booths for school children to get supplies , and also booths from the local police and border protection agencies. One of the booths, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had a variety of unique items on display, including gem-covered beetles, vials of weevils in food products, leather from a sea turtle and elephant, and a bird claw. The officer on the right talked about all the items on display. Click to enlarge. What do all these items have in common? Well, we learned from one of the officers at the booth that these were all illegal items to try to bring over the border. Lets start with the gem-covered beetle. This is not the beetle the officer had on display, but simply an example. While this may look like a harmless product, it is actually quite cruel. That is because the beetle is captured while still alive and has the jewels pasted to its back before being put on sa...
