Much nicer weather, mostly sunny today. Nothing exciting today, just usual weekend stuff but also hopefully time in my studio with the new stuff. Kay what a lovely time with DS and rest of the family and exciting plans for the visit. Nice added benefit with the computer help. Trudy, your...

I had a good time at the meeting this morning then did some research in Swiss records that are online but can only be accessed from certain places like our research library. And on the way home I did visit the art supply store. I got 6 watercolor pencils, several small colored papers, a black...

Not just gray here today but with fog also. DH had canceled today's bird survey in part because thunder storms were possible. We're driving across the city soon so hope it isn't too foggy. Art class yesterday was interesting as the teacher demonstrated the use of watercolor pencils. She does...

Wet and cooler today. Getting out yesterday was going with DH to grocery and digging up dandelions in the yard. This afternoon is my art class and I'm happy with the progress of my new drawing. Chris, no plans and warm weather sounds perfect for you. Enjoy.

We get warm today, it's 76* but cloudy. Maybe I can get out a bit. It will be cooling off after today though. I have lots of chores needing doing but I just want to go out or work on a drawing. Try to make it a combination of things. Chris, you go from slow mode to warp speed now I think...

What I time I had with the book. Finished the images last night then tried to upload them. Not many got through, so got up early this morning to try again, but still not too good. Finally gave in and went up to the senior center where Internet is fast. Then it worked like a charm. DH reviewed it...

Back to clouds today. DH will be home from H&S soon and I've done the bills, etc. Now to work on a family history scrapbook page book for his sister who will be here May 17 & 18. I've worked some on one twice before, but this time I'm really doing it. Discount available through tomorrow. Got out...

After rain and clouds the sun has just come out but still chilly. Last night we watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. A little way in it seemed so stupid I thought we'd be better off watching hockey but eventually we really enjoyed it. Then we watched the Bruins lose in 2 OT. I think...

I think we must have the same weather as it is chilly and windy here but with bright sun. It has been quite a week with big highs and lows. The low is that my youngest nephew (only 56) died last Friday. There was a memorial and dinner celebrating his life Wed. evening. And I was able to go even...

Trudy, we cross posted. Good luck with shopping for a wall oven!

Have to be quick so I can leave soon for a meeting. DH has the car for Hum & Strum but when he gets home (in minutes) I'll be getting ready to go. Last night we watched First Man. It was very interesting but I wonder how much was drama added to reality. Anyway I like seeing the progression of...

Happy Easter/Passover/Earth Day and just generally spring! I even saw the Easter bunny this morning running across the patio in the yard behind us. Tonight I'll make a normal dinner and we'll watch one of the movies. Nancy, know you'll have at wonderful dinner at DS's and enjoy the family...

Mourning Cloak butterflies hibernate over the winter and can appear anytime it warms up. Birding on April 13 we saw this one and also a Red Admiral so it felt like spring was really here. Credits: Simple Pleasures by Lynne Anzelc Designs fonts: Celtic Hand, Cardinal

It was pouring when I got up this morning, lightly raining when I drove across town to the meeting, dry but gray driving home this afternoon and now the sun is out. So a day covering the bases. The meeting went well and the Surface made it through just fine. We meet in a library and I took out...
