Soggy spring days...


As usual, the weather continues to be an adventure.  Spring has been so delightful that I will not complain.  However, we have moved into humid weather much like middle of summer. Some mornings, I open the deck door and think I am on an island in Maine due to the fog! The leaves are fully open and the lilacs blessed us with an abundance of fragrance as did the lily-of-the valley.

No, this isn't the sea shore in Maine...
it is the harbor in downtown New Haven. 


You know it is spring when the 
Amistad reappears after 
a winter of rest....


Art projects and drawings continue to occupy my time.  Housework is never-ending. The days  go by way to quickly these days...always something to do or see or make.


Although we have been all over New England recently, I have not been taking may photos. I refuse to get a smart phone for now.. Sometimes it is good just to be un-wired and away from things electronic and just soak it all in.

The weekend lies ahead.  Looks like a rainy one here which is good because we can use the rain. My heart goes out to those who have suffered the effects of the volatile weather throughout the USA.  This summer may prove to be a difficult summer and we hope that all stay well and safe.

Happy Memorial Day, 
if you celebrate it...



and as always,

enjoy the day!

I agree..it is best and quite a relief to stay unwired sometimes :) Its hot and humid here as well,with so many miles between us. I believe the weather is reacting to so many changes in the atmosphere...they will only advance for the worse. It is nice to enjoy the "Good" days and still take pleasure in God's gifts all around us,that remain a little untouched by man's corruption. I am looking to see if I still have your address,for I a have a little something to send your way :) Blessings on your weekend friend.
