Saturday Soak’n

-

 In the sun. Warm temperatures today meant we were off to Cranes for a walk. It was 60 degrees and a little breezy. When we first got out of the car, I thought vests over our light cardigans were called for. We weren’t walking very long, before the vests and cardigans came off. A short sleeve, toes in the sand sort of day for sure. Can it really be November 21?



 
Exfoliating...nature’s pedicure!

With this weather and Covid time warping, it’s easy to get confused. Rz sent me a note, with a rabbit saying gobble, which gave me a smile. I have had Jo’s happy harvest card on my mantle celebrating Autumn.
Fun mail

Here’s one of my watercolor rabbits from Heather Held’s Enchanted Meadow class. I gave this one some fall colors.

    Too bad we couldn't go through Winter with these temps. I wouldn't complain. Your happy mail made me smile and your Fall bunny is very cute.

    I was surprised that sand is an exfoliate. I learned something new today, Nan. That's a beautiful bunny you drew, too.

    Thanks Elizabeth. One of the many reasons I love the beach. I missed your Tuesday T day, but I am ready for next week. Stay well my friend.

    It was gorgeous yesterday, wasn't it? We ended up clouding around 11 so it took the gorgeousness away. Looks like a great beach walk, and nice cards Nan.

    We've had some lovely days as well, but nothing that would take me to the beach without a sweater! LOVE your bunny painting!

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav

Art in Bloom

  Art in Bloom Art in Bloom is being celebrated as a rite of Spring fundraising for art museums and libraries . In museums, floral designers create a piece to coordinate art on display. Local libraries and Chamber of Commerce combine their efforts with local art guilds and garden clubs to host a fun evening event. Libraries, art, flowers…what’s not to love? I decided this was an event I wanted to be involved in, both on the art and floral design aspect. First up: the display case, I asked Fiona for help on this. Here’s what we put together for the event. This is my first year participating, but it provided a great opportunity to put my art to good use. Happy Spring. Bloom where you’re planted.
