GLORIOUS MEMORIAL/BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

It has been such a nice weekend! We barbecued Saturday and played badminton and whiffle ball with the kids and their friends. Then we made S'mores around the outdoor fire pit at night and watched the night critters.

The photo is of the back of a cart that my husband built a few years back. He modeled it after one on Lord of the Rings. It sits near the drive way and at Halloween it is decked out with scary stuff. Yes, my husband builds LOTS of things! All of our decks, arbors, benches, Adirondack chairs and such!

On Sunday, my birthday, I did whatever I darn well pleased! That was--sitting outside with the birds, sketching, painting, and piddling around in the gardens. I finished up three paintings I had started. I really like how they turned out. The butterfly girl has a wonderful proverb written on it--about renewal... The garden angel is very colorful with lots of papers, texture and some glitter...The girl in the hammock is how I felt this weekend--relaxed and content--she is watching her kitty who is watching a bluebird sitting near her head! I will list them all on eBay today. Back to work tomorrow! Have a nice week everyone!
