A slow spring.....

The weather here has been unusually chilly and this week, very wet.  Eventually the warmth will arrive and we can enjoy the outdoors here.  Although I like looking at the lake...it is nice to actually be on it!!

The calendar is filling up with dog sitting, BB games, a workshop, and trip planning.  I'm looking forward to the activity.  Right now..piles are started for the Alaskan trip.  Rain gear and layers are the watchwords.  The cruise will be more casual as who can take much when you need to pack hiking boots and raincoats!!

My art plan is to make collage cards and practice my sketching with pen and wc pencils.  I must have left my little paint box in FM as it is no where to be seen here.    I am missing it for sure.

"My Orchid"   I brought this one back to MI...sadly it is all wilted and gone now.  A beauty while it lasted though.
