            We got a new light added to our family this week in the form of baby Sutton Caroline. She is absolutely adorable and thus very hard to put down for a grandparent. I thought I would have plenty of time to paint when I visited in DC but found that I would much rather hold this little girl than a paint brush. Can’t wait to see her and her proud and very loving parents, Erinn and Tyler, again!

            Happy Weekend!

             It’s the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend, a traditional time to celebrate the beginning of summer but we are getting ready to celebrate another important event: the birth of my daughter’s and son-in-law’s first child! We can’t wait to greet my “baby” girl’s baby girl!

            Happy Weekend!

            It’s that time of year when I can finally slow down a bit and catch my breath.  I can take the time to listen to the sweet sound of birds calling to one another through the trees, the funny sounds of squirrels scolding  one another, or the stream traveling over the worn rocks below. I can see all the different lush greens of summer in the trees contrasting with the red cardinals or the blue of the titmouse, or the orangish-red of the finches. All of this makes for a wonderful summer day.

            Happy Weekend!

             This Mother’s Day I’m thinking of the two wonderful people who made me a Mom – my son, Sean and my daughter, Erinn. I couldn’t ask for more kind and loving kids!

I’m also remembering a person who taught me everything about being a good, kind, and loving mother, Clare Albritton. She entered my life when I was 4 and continued to be a wise and loving presence until her death in January of this year. 

This weekend, I want to remember all my family and friends who are mothers as well as all those kind souls who mother others with kindness and support. You make the world brighter for your presence.

            Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

 I’ve seen this view multiple times hiking along the west coast and I never get tired of the gold and warm green grasses against a sunny beach with azure water and beautiful mountains in the distance. It’s also nice and cool even in July. Given that it was in the high eighties on the second day of May, I’m thinking I need to plan to visit again very soon.

Happy Weekend!
