This is the view at the end of the 'dead end' street.  You can see the mountains in the distance.  It's cool out this morning but it's forecast to be a lot warmer today than yesterday...about 12 degrees.  Still cooler than back east where they are experiencing the heat that we had last week.

I played with some toilet paper roles yesterday and made some more 'birds'.  This time instead of painting, I covered one with the crinkly paper in mailers and the other with fabric, decorating both with a bit of lace...

I also worked on another four page spread for the current junk journal I am creating.  I'll share that tomorrow.

I am listening to an excellent audio book called 'This Chair Rocks:  A Manifesto Against Ageism' written and read by Ashton Applewhite.  Being older myself and approaching 80, I am finding this book quite enlightening and interesting.  It's is certainly making me really consider life at this age and why I was so frustrated about attitudes of others at times.  

I have been working on a list of things from my studio.  I have questions for the insurance agent and have written him without any response.  I'll give him one more day and then I will call him!  As I said before, this is going to take a lot longer than I want but there's not much I can do about it.

If you are in the heat zone, take it easy today...

Talk with you later
