Hot, Hot, Hot!!

Well, we broke 100 degrees today! it is unbelievable! Here in Florida, the humidity can really get to you! I have lived here for 27 years and it still amazes me. Luckily we live right beside the woods. If you walked down the ravine about 20 feet, I swear it is 10 degrees cooler. Amazing really.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. I was looking through some of my photos and found this one of my brother, my Mom, and me that my husband made when we were at a local nursery. We look like we are enjoying being outside and it wasn't too hot, so I thought I would put it in today's posting!

We are meeting with the architect about our "outside room" on Thursday. Actually seems kind of crazy to be thinking about one with this heat, however, there will be a covered walkway to the room from the house and it will extend down into the woods. The walkway and room will be about 10 or 15 feet off of the ground, so it should be very nice in the Spring and Fall. It will be screened in and will have a small deck on the southern end. Since it is a two story structure, the "underneath part" will be storage. I hope we can get it approved.

Well, we have an early morning tomorrow...have to take the car in for a check up. I'd better sign off for now. Hope everyone has a good "rest of the week."
Til later.

Just This Side of Crazy!

Have you ever had one of those weeks (or months) when you think "Why did I agree to this or to do that?!" and sometimes things just "keep on keeping on?"

Well ------Welcome to my world! (Actually, we do what we think we can do, right? And, with just a little more effort we can accomplish what needs to be done)!

Moving on . . . .

Last Friday was the opening of "Allegro" at LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts and "Pinnacle," a nationally juried exhibit, at Foster Tanner Gallery. In the Allegro exhibit, in addition to two of my paintings in kiln-fired glass, I also have some of my drawings (the "Sound of Forest Water" series). I have another painting in kiln-fired glass entitled 'Joy in the Morning' at the Foster Tanner Gallery. They are both nice shows.

Tomorrow night, "Five Rings of Passion" opens at the Florida State University MoFA. I have 3 of my pieces in that exhibit. The piece shown here is "Celebration Manifesto."
I hope that everyone will try to stop by.

'Til later!
