On thanksgiving day, I put more fod out for the birds.
We have 2 suet feeders on our huge maple, and they were empty, so I decided the birds needed a treat on thanksgiving as well.
Within 10 minutes of the food being out there, I spotted over 10 different species of birds. I am still in […]
The month of November is over, and I thought I’d discuss my thoughts over the evnts of this month…
At the beginning of this month I’d decided to have a bit of an internet fast, and embark on an art project.
The internet “fast” consisted of me staying away from facebook,( I was spending way too much […]
Making quick sketches seems to be no problem. I am able to sketch just about anywhere, and make quick work of it, if I choose.
Yesterday, we went and met my parents in Stroudsburg for a late lunch, while they were on a weekend getaway from New York City. Afterwards, we went and hung out in […]
After cooking most of the days, over the course of 3 days, thanksgiving dinner went on without a hitch.
The only thing I’d planned to do and didn’t make, was the pumpkin pie. I ran out of time, and figured one pie was enough for 6 of us.
We had the turkey, 5 sides, […]
Fabio is so close to being done with school. He is taking his last 2 classes, and then he needs to do 2 quick write-ups to get a couple other credits, and it’s bachelor’s degree, here we come. We’re so excited for the new year with no homework.
Meanwhile, for the past several months, he parks […]
There’s not much to tell here.
We were in New York for the weekend, and while there, I took the opportunity to sketch and add to my 30 places project.
Graffiti is, hands down, one of my favorite places, and it’s always wonderful to be there, but it makes me miss it more when we leave.
It worked […]
So, we were going to have a New York friend out for Thanksgiving, and we had thought of inviting other friends who might be otherwise without plans of home or family. Most friends had other plans, so we were back to Jill, and then we added on Fabio’s mom and brother to the list.
Soon after, […]
The entry from a few weeks ago, where you were to guess what place it might be.
Here it is.
It’s inspired by a picture I took when I was on a mission trip to Indonesia, 2 years ago.
It was a year after the tsunami, and this was one of the places affected. There used to be […]
This was one way to catch up on my 30 Places.
I drew it while we were at the diner, but we were in a booth at the back by a wall, so there wasn’t much to look at.
So instead, I drew my plate (place) setting, even though I didn’t have a place yet.
It was a […]
Watching birds in our backyard, has become one of my favorite activities. We’ve been using the binoculars which abuelo gave us last Christmas, and the boys are enjoying this as well. Even though temperatures have dropped dramatically in the last few days, we can still watch them from our kitchen’s bay window. It’s awesome!
This is […]
