Last post was almost a month ago. What's up with that?
It seems I just took a little break for some reason known only to my lizard brain.
It's not that we've stopped living such extraordinarily interesting, highly news-worthy lives. Goodness, no! We've each been to SoCal, separately, to visit our respective moms (cute photos of Tom's visit will follow shortly). We went to see a fine production of "Snow Falling on Cedars" put on by CATS (Something Asian Theater Something). Really good! Um, oh, and Sunday afternoon we attended a wonderful choral concert by the "other" major choir in our area. Gorgeous music! Hm. We spent a day visiting the kids in SF: Rachel just back from two weeks in Uruguay (review=totally cool!) and Dylan having just hired a part-time carpenter to help him meet his growing demands. I have about a 100 more photos of spring around here. Breathtaking. The dogwoods are in bloom (!!--next post). The garden is coming along. Some ups, some not so much. The knitting--well, I just keep doing it.
And the weather! Today is Tuesday. Last Wednesday, the middle day of a big storm, I drove to choir practice through 1/2 inch of hail on the ground while it was snowing. Morning walks were in 32 degrees. Every week prior to this one has brought at least two or three days of rain. Just the way I like it!
See? Plenty of action!
So, while I can't really explain it, I feel like doing this again. And, just in time, too.
I haven't had a very productive year, so far, art-wise (though I'm starting to pick up the pace, again). One reason for it has been that, at long last (I've owned the url for 13-14 years), I have a live website! Tom is the hero, here. He's been working on learning, and then implementing, the languages of website-ness for a couple of years, now. You've probably seen Dylan's cool site. It's a very time-consuming and tedious process, to build a good site from scratch. But, after Dylan's went "live", Tom began pushing me to organize and re-configure my art photos--which just took forever. Aargh! All that Photoshopping! But he kept nudging.
And now, here it is! http://www.24carrot.com
Check it out! See what you think! I haven't yet developed the "archives" section of the site, in which I'll be putting pics of a lot of the staging work, grad nights, and other miscellaneous trouble I was in to for awhile. Most of that stuff isn't digital, so it will take a little more time to process. Don't hold your breath. But Tom will keep nudging, of course...
So, we're back. Stay tuned...
