exercise a bunch of times a week.
spend time in the garden in the mornings.

Big list! The hinges. Wow. I need to catch up with you, starting with rivets. Hey, isn't a hinge kind of like one long rivet through tubes?
Happy summer!!

off to a good start! got up at 5:30 to walk, then pulled some weeds (not too many-VERY HUMID). ate bluberries and yogurt for breakfast and haven't even STARTED thinking about cookies yet! today=library and town pool. you have a great one!

"i hate fruit." - holly
(hee hee.)
possibly. some of it. especially the unripe variety. and apples that make the roof of my mouth itch. and oranges with their frequently dry interiors or stringy ones that make me choke.
i do love berries, though, and i take a banana a day, like medicine.
;o)
hi holly
there must be something about artist-teachers. you and i have some of the same dna holly..with all the list-making and to-do's. we're so lucky to have summers "off" we try to squeeze every last drop out of it. sometimes i forget to create room to fill up with inspiration for my own work and for the coming year. i'm trying this summer to do less, make fewer lists, cut myself some slack. harder said than done. what do you think? and...i've done ALOT of blogging with my students and applied to present on it at next year's NAEA conference if you want any ideas just email me. xoxo
