Lancaster County.  A scene from my bike ride.  I had SOOOO much fun with this painting.  Love the line of three trees.  AND, see that tractor in the back kicking up dust.  No white paint!

Reminder to my Virginia clients, heading your way this weekend.  Booth F1

Six friends went out for dinner last night.  We went to The Lincoln House in Ephrata PA.  It had been years since we were there.  I will say it was good.  White table cloth, good waitress, the owner came out to check on Linda's nut allergy.  (ordered a beet salad without the walnuts, meanwhile our friends were deciding who gets to use the Epi pen!)

Study this basket work...and the light!   Painting is a JOY for me!

I have a lot to catch up on...
First, the Leonid and Friends concert was FANTASTIC.  If you like Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire you must listen to these guys.  The horns are so sweet!

Riding Update:  300 miles in May for Cancer.  
Thurs. - 24 miles,  Fri. 29 miles,  Sat. 30 miles,  Sun. 18 miles,  so I am at 101 miles (week #1)  with 199 more to go.  Linda is watching me like a hawk, worried I will over do it.  I was not allowed to ride my whole Cancer year, only walk.  Then last year I started slowly, and rode indoor rollers over winter.  You would think I could just hop on and ride...  but its not that easy.   I have to settle into the bike, get my sit bones back, eat before I go out. Plan around the weather.    Sunday I went out on the Lititz trail and it was SO soggy wet I felt it was unsafe so the return trip was on the road.  I had to hose off my muddy bike and I desperately needed a shower.  This week we leave for a show on Thursday till Monday so I lose a few days.
I am proud to have raised $964 so far. Donations are on Facebook.  If you are NOT on Facebook,

I did have a person give me a check and I did the donation on Facebook for them.  (email me to talk about how that works)  To Donate: CLICK HERE

Next Show:  This weekend.  Crozet VA,  Come see me!

I did not have enough time to finish my painting, ifs half done!  Heading out this evening to the York Theater to see a favorite... Leonid and Friends.  I am SOOO excited!

I did get 24 miles on my bike this morning. Leaving 276 more to go in the month of May!

 I have raised $964 so far!  Way above the goal!  Thank you all so much. Click here

We got back last night from a few nice days in Williamsburg, VA.  The show went well and we spent some time with Linda's brother.  Today we ran to two greenhouses for some plants. Linda is busy in the flower beds.   May 1st is my start for my 300 miles for Cancer bike ride. The goal was $250 and I am already at $862! WOW...I am so blessed. Click here

I have no idea what this is... it was cloth with pins sticking in it. I found it at Glendale Flour Mills in Boyertown. I liked the challenge of the patterns.

Today a client/friend/computer wiz came to install a new router and tweak Linda's computer. Then we took them to the Bulls Head Pub for lunch. I squeezed in a bike ride early evening. My plan is to work on my larger painting tomorrow.
