Fine Art and Kitsch.

We unpacked all the "pictures" and hung some of them yesterday.

It is amazing how even having some of them up makes it feel like we're staying instead of just camping.

Some of the pieces are originals from the student art sale at Emily Carr University (held every year in November you should go), and some are prints, and some are tacky things in gold frames. :)

It is also extremely excellent to get rid of the cardboard and bubble wrap and tissue paper and and and. It's all out on the deck, so that's a bit unsightly, but hey - one thing at a time.

In other news: we are getting the most excellent rain today. It has been hot and dry for 8 or more weeks, thick with smoke (you can't see across the valley, and sometimes a hanging grey veil between us and the mobiles across the street). The rain is that steady soaking cleansing rain, and the air smells sooooo good.

Yep! We are really digging the rain on the wild fire operations watch floor right now. Beats down the smoke in none fire areas, soaks up the dry areas that we are worried can light again, and helps the firefighters with current fires. Good all around. And the air smells amazing!
