Father Gillia is in full bloom and

buzzing with bees. A sweet smell too.

Walking in the yard is always a pleasure.

Always something to see at Cedar Ridge Studio.

 The neighbor's wood pile is constantly changing.

The late afternoon sun makes interesting shadows on the wood.

Looking forward to a productive day in the studio.

My strawberry plants arrived yesterday so

Thursday will be spent planting my new patch.

My husband has a huge box of asparagus roots to plant.

Last nights meal was  pork chops , home made apple sauce

and fresh asparagus from the garden.

The flavor of home made is just better.

Mellowing out at the farm.

 Love my pine trees.

 Cedar Ridge has several kind of pines.

White pines, cedars, arbs, spruce and more.

Took a walk yesterday afternoon with the camera.

Perfect weather. A perfect day.

Got some good photographs of logs, rocks and trees.

Got to spend some time in the studio.

Made a dozen small quilts for cards.

A friend stopped over for a short visit.

Made the mistake of drinking a cup of tea while

watching the Voice.

After only 3 hours of sleep I got a great

shot of the sunrise.

Sunrise out the sun room porch steps.

Now another day of making small quilts.

Need 100 cards to take to a seminar with me in June.

Have a great day.

Thankfull the week is over.

 I love barns and old buildings.

The week was busy with getting the outside back in shape

cleaning out two storage areas in the basement.

Making my supplies more accessible

and hanging a new show in the local library.

 The geese are headed back north.

the birds are busy building nest.

Everyone is  a week early.

I love seeing green all over again.

Even though we did not have much of a winter.

It was brown. yuck.

Looking forward to a quiet week-end.

Than Monday I will be making some quilt cards for

LaLa's in Lafayette.

yourself a peaceful week-end/

Heartland Gallery

Painted today.

I need to produce 3 - 12 by 12 inch paintings for a show.

Water and trees seem nice today.

I also started a flower painting.

Hollyhocks, white picket fence and a barn.

That show more promise.

I used Jasper red gesso for the background and

it really makes the flowers pop.

I will show you that  Wednesday.

The show is called small things.

Good name

Art Mix

 I had a nice quiet week-end.

Church, Minnesota fish for lunch, read a book

cleaned my stash closet and watched a movie with my husband.

This painting is a combination of painting and a piece

of encaustic art attached to it.

It is called XYZ.

Love the colors.

If you are near Lafayette, Indiana you can see it at

Art Mix March 30 at the Wells Cultural Center.
