 meet Augustus.. Created  for my yard. He is just hanging out until I can put him in his home in our front yard.
He is already bringing 'great fortune' this month... how cool to hear an advertisement  on the radio about 'Augustus' after I had named him.
The last few months have been all about getting set up.. Teaching several classes and perfecting my skills..

Starting to get comfortable wearing the 'artist' label who knew at 60 one could start a new career???

and it feels like one I was destined to do ..happy heart
