If you look closely you can almost see the angel wings behind the larger pear. This was not intentional. I could have accentuated them a bit more but I got lazy.

The following is an email to my three daughters this morning. Subject line was "Fraidy Cat Report"
Well, I had a bit of a hard time sleeping last night. Vic (my sweetheart of 13 years-I put this in for you blogger reader's benefit so you know who Vic is)is at Nate's visiting for the weekend. I was cold. I figured when we turn down the heat at night his body heat has been keeping me warm. I turned down the heat before going to bed and froze, even after I got up to put a sweatshirt on. So, I had to get up reluctantly after about an hour, go downstairs, and turn the heat up. Had some hot milk and went to sleep. I also had two night lights on. See, when I lived alone I never watched Forensic Files and CSI type shows-hardly ever watched TV- so I didn't have those images in my head so prominently and...we had just watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose the night before...

Anyway, when I woke up at 7:30 (late for me) this morning I came down and there was a HUGE black spider right there by the pantry closet. We have had no spiders for MONTHS. This is a cosmic joke! What kind of God or mischievous spirit would do such a thing to a nice girl like me? I know this means something...

Anyway, I managed to sneak by it to get the fly swatter because I didn't want spider goo on my pristine slipper. One swat did it and down the toilet he went to his watery grave.

That's the report.
Hope I don't have one for tomorrow morning.

Do you think I should put this report on my painting blog? Yes or No

The consensus was yes so here it is...
