Spring is exploding all over the place and so is the To Do list here. It has been one big, busy week! We had a few days of good solid rain. Almost too much. Rivers were flooding. Luckily it stopped before things got bad. Now the grass needs mowing again. Why do we have grass? There are better things to do with a piece of land than grow grass just to mow it down.
The bees are good so far. I am checking this weekend to see if I will need to add another box to their living space soon.
Here is the state of my office/studio right now. Soon to be the office/studio/guest room. I have five days to finish painting and rearranging this room. Wish me luck! 
I did finish the portraits of the grandpups and am pleased with how they turned out. It was only a few weeks ago that I was going to throw away my paint because I could not make them do what I wanted. Hopefully I have turned a corner on that.
It seems more people are trying to reduce the amount of plastic and trash in our world and we are on that journey as well as my daughter and son-in-law. She asked for some beeswax wraps so I figured out how to render some of the old beeswax and have this blob and some fabric to attempt making them. I will let you know how it goes.
And last but not least I will leave you with my roses that are starting to bloom. I LOVE SPRING!!
Next week my son graduates from college so we will be traveling and celebrating with him. I will try to get a post done, but if I don’t, you know why.
Go out and wallow in some fresh air and sunshine this week!
