MY WEEKEND WAS FUN

I WENT TO VARIOUS ART IN THE SOURCE PLACES THIS WEEKEND.  THEY INCLUDED ARTISTS AND WHO WERE VARIOUS SCULPTURES DREAM WEAVERS, OIL PAINTINGS, SILK SCARF DYING, WEAVERS,  OIL PAINTERS,  WOODCUTTERS, AND BRONZE SCULPTORS, AND VERY SMALL COLORED PENCIL BOTANICAL ARTIST PAINTINGS. I HAD FUN TALKING TO THE ARTISTS AND THEY HAD SOME EDIBLES AND SOME SOME GRAPES AND IT WAS GETTING COLD AFTER 5 PM.  SOME OF THE ARTISTS WERE GETTING INTERESTED IN MY OUTDOOR HIKES SO I GAVE THEM MY WEBSITE TO VIEW.  THEN I DANCED AROUND THE BLOCK.  THE LAST ARTIST'S HOUSE WAS A JAPANESE PAGODA,  THE MAN WAS AN INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN WOODCARVER - VERY PRECISE AND HE HAD TURNED THEIR SMALL HOUSE INTO A PAGODA LIKE ATMOSPHERE.  HE HAD MANY SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED SCULPTURES IN HIS HOUSE.  THEY HAD A SMALL TEA ROOM WITH AN INDOOR SMALL FIRE AND TEA POT WITH MATS FOR THEM TO  SIT UPON. HE HAD MADE A LARGE CARVING OF AN INDIAN IN A CHESTNUT TREE IN SEBASTOPOL AND SOWED ME THE PICTURE.   HE SAID HIS TALENT WAS INNATE AND HE NEVER WENT TO ART SCHOOL.  HIS DAUGHTER REMEMBERED ME FROM A CHURCH WHERE SHE TOOK TALK WON DU AND DRUMMING.  HIS WIFE WAS A HEALER AND GAVE ME A SAMPLE OF HEALING ME - SHE WAS GOOD.  THEY KNEW ABOUT REINCARNATION .  HE HAD A CARVING THAT HOWED HIS DEAD BODY AND A NEW FIGURE ON TOP WHERE HE HAD BEEN REBORN INTO A FREE FLIGHT LOOKING LIKE A BUDDHIST FIGURE. 

MOST OF THE ARTISTS HAD BEAUTIFUL HOUSES AND SURROUNDINGS. I LEARNED IT TOOK FIVE YEARS BEFORE BLUEBERRIES WOULD MATURE INTO BERRIES ONCE YOU PLANT THEM!  THEY COULD HARDLY BELIEVE MY STORY.  THEY  ARE GOING TO JAPAN FOR A MONTH!
