Haven't posted here for a while. Have had an art show since last posting and was my first time there. It was ArtFest in Spokane and was a very nice show. We we're exhausted before, during, and after but got through it and had a great time. Met some very nice people. Brown's Addition, Coeur d'alene Park is a lovely area.

We had to cancel our yearly party which would have been this next weekend. Many many reasons to do so and are relieved.

We have completed planting a veggie garden for the first time in a few years. With Mike's normal wildland firefighting job, he just couldn't do it. We have also planted a couple more apple trees and some other things. Things are looking like our little paradise out there.

The art gallery we had planned to open by the end of May didn't happen yet. It will be a couple more months possibly before we can now. The art and nature retreat will be down the road another year or two. But, the vision is clear! We WILL do these things.

Life is good. And it is supposed to be!

after mother's day...

the pocket vases cracked. I just don't know what i'm doin wrong with those..... oh, well. have the kiln loaded with 10 sets of earrings and 5 large barretts. Crossing my fingers.

Have a show in Seattle this weekend and am not at all ready for it. Must work my fingers to the bone until Friday when we leave. Buddha Eyes has to be done by then.....

Took a hike yesterday with our potentially new addition ~ will be called Saydee if she ends up ours. We found her running along the hiway Sunday night and brought her home. She's totally at home and was right away. She's a teenager and wants to play play play. Full of clumsy energy all the time! She's cute.....

babbles & stuff

Am feeling very tired again and still on super sonic vit D (50,000 ie twice a week and have been for months). Still low. Doc said my lab results are not so good that things could come back at this rate. NO!

Anyway, have shows coming up, a custom piece to finish by the end of next week, a party coming up in June with people coming from OR, WA, MT and Idaho so far. Projects to start and finish at home here...........and the usual.

Life is good. I just need my energy back pre diagnoses 2003......

Oh, I just took two pocket wall vases out of the kiln. First ones, have to refire cuz I made too thin....we'll see tomorrow when I take them back out again......hope hope!

pictures ~ Indian Mountain Trail gets closer & closer

Here are some pictures I took today on Indian Mtn. somewhere between Moscow & Coeur d'alene Idaho.......on our almost daily hike up our property on the trail the Mike has been building for 12 years now! It's awesome.........

Followers ???

How do I get followers? Oh well, guess this could be my living journal................for my own use. Was hoping to network and get my story and art out there but will use another venue.....

I am drinking Mike's awesome French press coffee. Wow and is it ever kick ass.
Maybe that'll get me in gear today!

Then some yoga (still can't do much of it yet), some health green & purple shake, and then a hike up the mountain and hope the sun will be out long enough to take some pictures of the awesome view. Mike as built at least 30 more feet and the view is spectacular! I will post on this and Facebook when I get them taken and uploaded.

Then I will finish the floral mosaic I started last night...........

Peace, love, happiness, compassion, acceptance to all.....

Life is good ~ art in it makes it even better

Have an art show next weekend in Moscow Idaho. The Renaissance Fair at City Park. It's our 6th year there and our favorite show.

Torture? or Torture?
