Ooops, Trudy, we cross posted again. Love the rooster and the idea of him and the cat as company for that wonderful Prime Rib dinner.

DH had a procedure this morning and while I waiting I worked on drawings of Rita. At first just fairly realistic and then going more in my abstract direction. Want to share with Chris & fam where I've gotten so far. It was ink, colored pencil and collage then a little watercolor at home. DH...

Wonderful photos and great page arrangement, even with the out of bounds. Love it! In N. America we have a different but similar kingfisher - they are super.

Well, I'm here too. Yesterday I managed to get two LOs in the gallery but not energy enough to write here. Friday we had a nice outing to the nature preserve so we've got memories of nice weather from that. Today is still nice but the temps are going down from here. At the nature preserve we saw...

It's another lovely day and this time we're going to try some birding where DH used to do the bird surveys. Not expecting much, but getting out will be wonderful. Just hope not many people. Chris, Gary's video will go big! What fun for him. Too bad you are still in pain though. Not much you...

It's beautiful and such a lovely thought but WOW on the way you used it all to look totally your own.

Another day of nothing different I guess. It is nice out though. Chris, hope Cait is enjoying her birthday celebration even though a day after. Wonder what she makes of having a set of virtual "grandmas" at the O who all want to wish her a happy birthday. And if you would send me photos of...

Just a quick hello. DH will be ending H&S soon and then we're off for groceries. Friday we got our flu shots in a drive-thru setup in the parking lot of the senior center done by the Walgreens across from there. It was just for seniors and by appointment and the weather was perfect if a little...

Hollyhocks are such a summer feeling flower and I sure wish summer weren't apparently at an end, so celebrating the feeling with this pretty dramatic photo of one at the neighbor's last year. Credits: -solid papers: Wonderfall [papers - Textures/Solids] by Vicki Stegall -patterned paper...

I've found it rewarding to attempt photographing pollinators, mostly bees and butterflies. This one was especially sweet. Credits: -paper: Wonderfall [papers - Textures/Solids] by Vicki Stegall -mask: Embers FotoBlendz No. 1 by Anna Aspnes -overlays: ArtPlay Palette Embers by Anna Aspnes...

Kythe, I have a pretty definite idea of ephemera but did a search in the shop. Way too much came up until I searched only on the title. Here's a link that should help give you an idea: https://www.oscraps.com/shop/search.php?mode=search&page=1&keep_https=yes Today was DH's H&S Zoom session...

Beautiful page and I really like the rich colors. Your process of using your stash for this is inspiring.

Yesterday morning's program hopping sounded crazy but it came off pretty easily I think. The virtual conference went really well and there is so much still to do with it and four later dates for live Q&A. They really worked to make as much as possible of the in-person experience still part of...

Oh, Chris, thanks for the story of Scott's antics! Made me laugh. My conference is only one-way so I don't have to worry, but tomorrow morning I'm supposed to be at a meeting at 10 where I will be seen and also will try to catch a bit of one that starts earlier and cut out, then back to the...

We're watching the end of the first NFL football game of the season. Today was the first of three days of a live-stream conference on New York state genealogy. It was was nice until almost the end when they lost the live stream. After a bit it came back and they finished up. In addition I now...

It is really nice! You can see the whole list here: https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=231

It's still sunny but I'm sitting here feeling cold again. Nothing special on for today. Tomorrow will by DH's usual H&S despite the holiday as no one else is going anywhere either. Chris, what a delightful picture I have of Cait online with the rats. We see a lot of cats and a few dogs in...
