AUTHOR’S NOTES |
|
September 2005 Well, it looks and feels like fall has arrived to my part of Maine. Though the days have been warm when the sun shines, the nights have been cold – I had to add a blanket to my bed this week. From my computer in my art loft, I can see red and orange leaves way up at the top of my beautiful birch trees surrounding my back yard. My gorgeous sugar maple in the front yard is still predominantly green, but it won’t be for much longer. The colder the nights we have, the quicker the leaves turn. The
big news for me this month is that my art loft is finally finished – wood
work May 2005 If I’d thought that April went by quickly, May seems to be going by even faster! Although it is considered
very early by Maine standards, my 7 flower beds are done – put
a big red “DONE” stamp on each of those beauties! To
keep the Mother’s Day was a quiet,
uneventful day, which was exactly what I’d hoped for. My weekdays
can get so hectic that a quiet Sunday at home in my pj’s all
day is very welcome. As usual, my men spoiled me. Following dad’s
example, Ian chose some very pretty pieces of jewelry for me, and
Evan made me a bejeweled flower pot, perfect for the African violet
the boys bought to put in it. The card Evan May will also find me visiting Anaheim, CA with Ian and Jonathan. Evan will be “holding down the fort”, and hopefully keeping those rambunctious pets, especially our dog Tucker, in line. More info and photos of that adventure will show up next month. Talk to you then…. April 2005 We sure have had the April showers, but from the size of the snow mounds covering my tulip and daffodil beds, we’ll need to build an ark before I’ll see the end of that snow mountain! Until I can get out and play in my gardens, I will be working on a scrapbook showing Evan through the years via photographs. When I give a presentation or am a vendor at a conference, I’ll often pass around a photo album that I’d created for his 10th birthday bash. That album with its plastic sheets is starting to look rather dog-eared so I thought that now was the time to make a change. I can only manage to complete 1 or 2 pages a day; otherwise I’ll be naughty and just scrapbook all day long!
