Afternoon, all. Grocery shopping this afternoon was an experience. Most things we wanted were in stock but they have no pork or rice. TP and such we knew wouldn't be there but the pork was a surprise. Just hope we kept safe enough. Last night we finished the puzzle. It is so delightful, titled...

Lovely page for what looks like a very happy birthday. Nice framing.

I'm back with a bird link. The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology posted an article titled "How to Make These Next Few Weeks a Little Easier, Courtesy of Birds" at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/how-to-make-these-next-few-weeks-a-little-easier-courtesy-of-birds/ I know Nancy would enjoy...

We were out a bit yesterday with DH going in for his regular blood work, we went to the bird seed store as we were running out of seed and in the evening we took advantage of a local restaurant doing carry out as they had a corned beef and cabbage dinner. Boy was it good! Today we're a bit at...

I recently saw the Degas quote and found it so inspiring. Others say the quote is about creativity. Credits: crow in flight is my photo -kit: Frosty Mornings by et designs -edge, paper strip: Oscrap Collab School of Life -crow: Croonin' Crowsters by Lorie Davison -leaf stamp: Autumn...

This Little Gull gave DH some nice photos. Not sure I've seen this gull since though we used to see them every winter. Credits: ArtPlay Palette Milieu by Anna Aspnes -frame: Frosty Mornings by et designs font: Staccato222 BT

I had no luck first time through 2006 photos finding one of me, but Chris, you inspire me to find a bird one that would work. Here I've been cancelling dentist and podiatrist appts. and got a call rescheduling one for DH. Crazy time but the party here should help keep our spirits up. Chris...

Yesterday I learned my brother is in the hospital and was really glad today to get to have a nice talk with him and learn he's scheduled to go home tomorrow. He's 88 and not in the best shape, but sounds good otherwise. Our governor yesterday ordered all bars and restaurants closed except for...

Though crocus are blooming and daffodils have buds, I'm still excited to see lots of snowdrops in bloom as signs of spring. Credits: combined lift of Feeding Time by bcgal00 https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=328367&title=feeding-time&cat=699 and LO for kit AUSSIE...

I had to check on this crocus yesterday and was so happy to see it coming through again. It is such an improbable location. Credits: 52 Inspirations {2019} -background papers, swirl: no. 21, Rejuvenation {Mini Kit} by Microferk Designs -light paper, tag: no. 18 by Vicki Stegall fonts...

In the midst of all it is still Pi Day: https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=426507&title=pi-day-2020&cat=all

It's nice to have something light-hearted to scrap today. A friend, a retired math teacher, creates a pi day song each year. Check out this year's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnhDguc9Hh4. Looks like I can celebrate with a scrapped page each year too. Credits: This is November...

I am grateful that the mixed media collage workshop was last weekend so that it was not cancelled - because it was wonderful!

Vera, this lovely! Super photo with an excellent treatment. Love what you wrote as well.

Just a quick HI! before heading out to (earlier due to daylight saving time!) the workshop. Wanted to tell Trudy that after wondering what cradle boards might be I'm about to do a project on a 6" square one this morning. Sunny and warming here, hope it's a good one for you!

Yesterday was very nice. Most of our class time we spent hanging work in the hallway. I already had two up and now three more. Another lady from the class matted both drawings and collages and they look great and are also up with work of two others that were already there. Looking lively. Partly...

Sunny today and supposed to warm up a bit. I have art class this afternoon. The bird club talk last night was well done and interesting, but not a lot of conclusions other than that lots of birds do use the nature preserve. The few survey volunteers, including DH, were asked to stand also which...

Another gray day but not too cold. This evening is the bird club meeting at which the talk will be about the 5+ years of bird surveys in which DH participated. That will be nice to hear. Chris, big hugs to all of you after losing Floyd. ::grouphug And they really do let us know when it's time...

It's really late, but here is week 41 for 2018. Originally it was meant for an Anna challenge, but didn't get done. I just have one left to do the writing on!
