Look who dropped in today!

The gentle breeze was right today for a visit from the balloon company east of Hotel California. There were five balloons up in warm morning mists, apparently ideal situation for balloons. Backyard wall in foreground.

Today's transition

Yellow ochre today

Even the birds admired the morning sunrise today, featuring a yellow ochre, viewed from the window on a chilly start at Hotel California.

Enhancing sketching skills

Emily got a new Apple Pen just in time for a holiday stay-over. Her characters can now be developed on lap top. This does not count against her screen time allotment. She split the cost of the $90 pen with Grandma and loves using it. Her mother is in Florida and returns for Monday.

Out they go !

Just goes to show you, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. We cleared tons of rocks off of these pallets. We knew what to do with the rocks, but the dozen pallets they came on? Break them up and dispose? An ad on social media did it. Elizabeth lives on a farm 25 miles away and she spotted the offer: Free. I told her if she would come and get them, she was first in line. Darnita didn’t show yesterday. Elizabeth dispatched her son and the deed was done. They are going to a 12 acre hobby farm with four pregnant lambs, Josh said, as he tightened down the load.

Concert Mistress?

Emily performed with the orchestra last night. They just keep getting better. Practice does it! Photo by Grandma, who came early to grab good seats!.
