In a time of horrific devastation, one lady had a vision. Through word of mouth and social media, 33 artist came together under one roof. Each donating their work. The public began bidding for paintings, pottery, woodwork, books, note cards, gift baskets, certificates and more. The time frame was 25 days. The goal? To raise as much money as possible via internet and in store visits. The cause? The people of Fort McMurray. On the last day, Artisans came out in support. Bidding continued right down to the wire. $3145.00 was raised. Smiles filled the room. Thank you everyone. 99 words was just not enough to express my feelings about this event and the people involved. Read the full story at Morning Muse - Silent Auction.

Oh man, here comes more of them. Take your noisy kids and ugly dog and get lost! They just won’t leave us alone. Don’t they know it’s that time of year when we need to be on the ground doing our thing for the coming winter? We need to stockpile food in that old tree trunk and under that log. Hey, those pine cones are mine! I didn’t pile them up for you to spread them out and take the best ones. Quit pointing at me. I am not cutesy wootsy. Scolding you? You bet I am. GO AWAY!

The ice has given way to the sound of running water. The creek chortles over rocks, mud-covered twigs and raw roots. Natural springs create mini gorges in the ground. Opening gashes in the land on their way to join with the creek. The country thaws and the saturation spreads. A devastated landscape shows new signs of sloughing along the already scarred hills. Mother Nature tests all she come in contact with. There is no arguing. There is not recourse. A beautiful woman who gives in to no one. What she wants she never asks for. She just takes.
