plumeria
Once upon a time my dear friend, Ilene, moved away and gave us her beautiful Plumeria plant. I think I killed it within a week. But she would be proud of me now! Today this Plumeria happily thrives in our front yard. Yay! Isn't it beautiful!!

dew
The morning dew on the plants outside was ridiculous. Pretty, isn't it?
I could see my reflection in all the tiny drops.

more marathon
Here are some photos I liked that Dave took while they were waiting to cheer me on at mile 20. Dave's shadow (a shot he accidently took, but i really like), Hazel and her buddy Coleman playing in the dirt, and Ollie climbing the red rock. P.S. I love the red rock desert!

fishy fishy
Since I am a little behind in my "work of art a month" goal, I thought I would post an old drawing. I tweaked it a little after I scanned it and think he is kind of a cute little fishy.

i love fall
I love fall! The weather, the crisp air (finally), the colors...everything. This pumpkin farm is great. They have a corn maze, pig races, pony rides, a petting farm, loads o pumpkins, train rides...the whole nine yards. You can see the garden where the pumpkins were grown. It's great and my kids loved it! I'm sure we'll be going back soon. Wanna come?

July (okay, August) Art

July there was quite a bit of away-from-home time and a lot of fun going on. So, I didn't make any notable art last month. This month, however late it may be, I have promised myself to do two art projects to make-up for last month. I think owls are very cute and fun to make pretty pictures of. I thought of dressing them up a little bit more, possibly a flower brooch for the mom, a baseball cap for the boy, but I'm gonna think about it before I commit. Any thoughts? Silly, no? Perhaps you would like a little owl family for you wall?
