Goals I have for this last quarter; This is the 4th week in the last quarter of 2012. I have some goals for this quarter. First on my list is to visit my mother, which I did the 15th and 16th of October. I took my lovely child Cas, AKA Chloe. A bonus to this …
The 100 day project sounds daunting, yet it’s only a few minutes each day. Irina Trzaskos Skillshare class announcements came into my inbox. I always make sure to read her emails and what a fun way to launch me back into daily painting. In June I did really well only missing a few days from …

May is moving along and the small garden is growing. The temperatures have been lower than usual and the air dry. Two days ago I ate the first blueberry from my new blueberry bush. It was so good. I’m also now waiting for strawberries to ripen. I think they will wait until it warms up …
March and April have been full, a course called Immersion 2021, and Spring. Spring, of course, is full of exhilarating outdoor activities. New life emerging from the yet frozen ground.
