I am sticking with still life from Glendale Flour Mills because the last trip there was eye candy everywhere!

Tomorrow I am starting a house commission so I will be glued to my table.
BUT I can multitask and watch the Olympics!
Linda made a pot of bolognese that smells so good but we are headed to dinner with clients. It will be even better tomorrow.

Hectic here today, our helper was framing, our cleaning lady was cleaning and Linda was at her desk all day. I ran to the bank, returned something from Amazon and painted.

2024 Canadian Landscape #2

 mini original watercolor   $225
A little landscape from the lle dOrleans

We have been super busy. We did some extra celebrating with our friends John & Bonnie who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Starting with a little gift and flowers and met at Fox Meadows for ice cream. Friday was set up for the art show in the Lititz park. I live 2 blocks away but still had to load and unload PLUS we get a double booth so there is lots to display.


Saturday was the Art Show, good crowds and we sold well.  A home town favorite for me!  Sunday we continued celebrating the 50th anniversary by having ribs at Hidden Still followed by more ice cream with cookies at Dirty Dough!  The girls there were so kind, they even decorated a cookie for them.  Monday we picked up river rocks for Linda's deck project and we both had pedicures.  Home to paint.
I finished out the evening cutting mats.

I have been eating pretty many cherries lately...
Ode to cherries.

We started our morning getting free old bricks for the garden beds. Linda and I carried 25 bricks from an attic... down and another 25 from the basement... up! Got plenty of exercise. Then stops at the grocery store and farmers market. Linda cleaned and cut 2 dozen corn for our freezer while I painted. Then suddenly it's 6:30pm!

They are not titled or priced; Linda was busy!  Actually, she just booked a tour to Scotland for June 2024.  That was on MY bucket list!

Meanwhile our little porch off the kitchen is almost finished.  Linda had a planter built and added some plants to help with a bit of privacy.  There is other planting and stones going in.
