We had a doozy of a monsoon storm move through yesterday afternoon, collapsing the roof of the Hobby Lobby a few miles from my house and knocking out my power for a couple of hours.
Coincidentally, I just finished my "Monsoon" piece (above), and I'm almost done with "Heat Wave," (below).
Our Southwest summer monsoons are generated by excessive heat (it's going up to 108 today) and moisture from the gulf that swirls westward, opposite of usual weather patterns that move west to east. Besides having torrential rain, monsoons have very high winds. And the season goes from June through September, so we're not done yet!
The storm blew one of my beautiful Talovera pots off my patio table and shattered it ...

... and tossed around my outdoor chairs and messed with the rug.

This big tree was ripped apart in our neighborhood park, and a lot of my neighbors had big branches down.

But in the midst of it all was a rainbow behind my house.
Have a colorful day
Wow! So sorry to hear about the HL roof, that happened to our JoAnns several years ago, but it was snow pack, not winds or heavy rains. Sorry about your pot too... love the rainbow! Hang in there...
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I’d save the pieces of your shattered pot and use them in a mosaic tabletop or perhaps in a frame around a mirror. It would be easy to do and I’m sure you would be able to find directions on Youtube. I’ve done a few projects in the past using broken china and it is fun to do. At the very least, you could simply glue the bits onto a terra cotta pot. :-)

Glad you weathered the storm with minimal damage and electricity loss. Maybe you should work on a different theme in your artwork in case your current quilts are triggering that big weather - lol
ReplyDeleteOh my! So glad you didn't have more damage. Love those little quilts.
