sketching again...

Just trying out drawing with colored pencils and something from the kitchen.

Chive plants that I have from Rob's grandmother.  Heritage Chives; is that what you would call them?

A day out

Tuesday, Julie and I had  a lovely day with our friend, Tish.  We went to the movies and saw "Chef" and i loved it!  Some "language" in the beginning, but you get past that and it's a "feel good" story.  Then we came back to Tish's and she made lunch for us.  Salmon patties and mac & cheese...yum!  A
"feel good" lunch.

So while Tish was busy in the kitchen, and her and Julie were talking over recipes, i did my sketchbook skool homework and sketched her kitchen.

Finished it with a little watercolor when i got home.

Here she is.

Kandi is looking for the birds.

Driving home, the sky was so dramatic.  We thought we'd run into a thunderstorm, but it didn't happen.

What a nice day!

Watchful Mommy

 

 She built her nest in our awning and it stayed there through winds and rainstorm.

One little head peeking out.

 

Almost ready to go...I hope.

...and journaling

Sketchbook Skool Day 1

Rocks!

Julie had the girls over at her house yesterday, so I went over and we did some rock painting.

 

I had one of those Klutz books that gave them lots of ideas.  Danielle likes the animals...

 

and Kassidy was into hearts today and pinks and purples, of course!

 

the exhibit:

 

and Missy just wondered if there was anything else on the table besides rocks?

Stormy days

Took these pictures of the stormy skies last week at Julie's house.

You know who slept through it.

And this week, the storm came at night, so no sky pictures...

just seeing the damage, the next morning, that the high winds did...

my neighbor's huge beautiful evergreen uprooted and laying down...

and our roof where the rain came pouring down from the ceiling into my great room.

Our nephew to the rescue!

My little fairy, still in one piece, with the tiny flowers blooming happily around her.

Ho-hum...
