Many-Eyed Monsters and Pretty Flowers

Aislinn, the Many-Eyed Monster. Here.

Painting lots of eyes, and wandering through 

wild-flower-filled mountain meadows.
 Life is good.

Circus Kitty and Getting Zen

Just finished this little chunk of sweetness.

He's in the shop now if you wanna check him out.

I'm heading out of town for the weekend, gonna go get meditative and whatnot at Great Vow Zen Monastery. It's a 4-hour gorgeous drive, and College Boy is coming with. Yay! We'll be attending this workshop on transforming the inner-critic. Inner-critics can be such nags, and mine can get downright mean!

Last time I was there we had an unexpected snow storm. I suspect the views will be much different this time. It's wonderful to leave the real world for a bit, although coming back tends to feel a little... loud. 

Oregon Country Fair

Went to the Oregon Country Fair this past weekend.

It was a people-watcher's paradise!

Oregon is a strange place. I like it.
