The Bow Belle

According to my favorite source for daily holidays , the word of the day for today is "tenebrous," which apparently means dark and gloomy.  Since today is also an auspicious day for tornado buffs, and since I associate tornadoes with the color black, I chose a simple black bow.  This one is another of my Wal-Mart cheer bows. I haven't had an excuse to wear these earrings in a good long time, but they're some of my favorites.  The Etsy shop, CorvidArtsBoutique, is no longer selling. I've been a tornado buff ever since I was three.  It was 1991 then, and that particular spring was an active one.  One particular tornado, one that struck Wichita and Andover, Kansas, left a huge impression on my toddler mind.  The video of that tornado striking McConnell Air Force Base is one of my all-time favorites (link is HERE ; parents cautioned due to language).  Seventeen people died in that tornado, but none of them were on the air base.  You'd have guessed fro...

March went out like a lion, and April is picking up where March left off.  Last Friday the middle of the country (including my neck of the woods) had a nasty tornado outbreak, and tonight we may get more of the same.  Since rain is in the forecast, I'm locked and loaded with a fitting hair bow. Etsy sellers call these pool bows or jelly bows, because they are made out of jelly-looking plastic and can be worn at the beach or the pool.  I can't swim so I never go to the pool, but I still like these plastic bows.  The only problem is that I got one that doesn't match any of my clothes!  Gonna have to fix that.  In this case my Etsy store is LeahBowsCreations , but there are plenty of other options, as well as smaller bows for the kiddies.  Not that I'm allergic to smaller bows, of course!  I do prefer 'em big, but some of my best are on the small side.
