The Hot Tub is here..........

We had to hire a huge crane to lift it over the house but it is here and in the back yard waiting to be hooked up and for us to fix a drink and get in.........
Come on warm weather!!!!!

My 21 classes are done......

I miss my class already. Nice people and loved the lessons Jessica taught us. I think I will sign up for the second part of the 'Love My Journal' class. It is true that I worked on my assignments all-day-long. Nothing is easy for me, I have to really work when it comes to drawing........... I literally felt like I had been doing heavy labor by the end of the day. I would work up a sweat and I would be drained by the end of the day. The journaling daily will be hard for me because after so many years I feel as tho' I have said all I have to say but the drawing will be good for me. This journal is so full of color and will be fun to look at over and over again. I will be looking forward to the Como Park excursion to the flower gardens and the Japanese Tea Garden. Should be fun sketching for me while Luther gets a good snooze. :o)

That's my story...............!

'tis been a long, long, time

Oh my, where has time gone?

I have been taking a journaling class with Jessica Wesolek and enjoying the heck out of it. It is good to be back into my journal again and sharing with others. She is kicking butt with this class and she is making me look at things with new eyes. I want to take her drawing class.... and when I finish this 21 day session, I hope to take the second part.

I just hated school when I was forced to go but now I enjoy the learning process.

The weather: ENOUGH SNOW ALREADY!!!

I think I can hang on until Spring. I have hopes of planting a beautiful Butterfly garden this Spring. I adore them and want to have everything they need right here in our yard. I understand I need a mud puddle and some flat, hot rocks for them on chilly days and that they don't fly unless it is 60 degrees because they are cold blooded creatures. Well the fountain outside is made up of lots of flat stones and I will make them a mudpuddle if that will keep them here and happy! Something tells me that my camera will get quite a workout. I am ready to start a new Gardening Journal because it was my absolute joy last year to keep track of every new thing sprouting up and how it did, etc. Kept me busy all Summer. Soon, very soon, the Hummingbirds will be back and I am all ready for them except for the 'mister' that I am told will help to attract more of them. The experts say they love to fly in and out of it and that they actually drink while doing it.

Come on Summer. My old bones could use some warmth and hot sun for a spell.............
And a Hot Tub would be the icing on the cake!

Until later................
