Good morning everyone!

I'm off the computer for a few days and look what happens, a new thread and 5 pages to read and TRY to remember, and a lot of singing going on.

For all of you who are not feeling well, I hope you start feeling better soon.

Had a fun weekend at DBF's. Saturday I asked what he needed me to do and he asked me to rake the yard. (He forgets some of my limitations sometimes.) Well, I gave it try and quickly found that it wasn't working for me. So I cleaned out one of the flower beds that was full of weeds and river rock (I just threw them in the wheel barrel and he hauled them away). I was able to sit down and work on weeding and breaking up the soil. It was so wonderful to get my hands in the dirt and work with it. I love playing in the dirt; the feel and smell of the soil is so wonderful. The flower bed looks great and is now ready for plants.

BTW - The weather was beautiful! Sunny and when working out in the sun like that I could have worn a tank top and shorts; just didn't have any with me.

Then Sunday, the artist who lives across the street invited me over to play with clay. She has a kiln and tons of art stuff. It was so much fun. I made an abstract 3D tile to hang on the wall. I'll glaze it next weekend.

Additionally, she saw the Christmas card (hand drawn Baby Jesus - real simple card, no frills) that I am working on and wanted to buy some from me. It was a great compliment to me as this woman is an awesome artist. Of course, despite the fact I need the money, I can't charge her for it as she bought me a huge thing of clay and is teaching me techniques for working with the clay, allowing me to use her studio and kiln.

All in all it was a great weekend.

I hope you all have a great day today!
