My steps were picking up but its hard to walk a couple hundred yards bent over, even with a cane. I had to stop frequently to regather myself...I had the distinct feel... Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:26:57 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/taking-the-bad-with-the-good.html Keeping on top of things is always a challenge, but when jobs are picking up and the days are beautiful, it's OK. I always count my blessings and thank the Lord for each day...that hasn't changed. What has (changed) is a herniated disk in my lower ba... Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:31:23 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/one-of-those-days.html It's an incredibly beautiful day today, the kind that reminds me of another place and time with all the amenities thrown in. This was a perfect day for the camera...would have been great to walk on the prairie and admire the Milk Vetch and the Butter... Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:53:42 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/get-away.html Georgie and I haven't had a real vacation in some years...its my fault, I know...what can I say - I do like taking some time off though, really! A good friend of ours, Julie, took us away last weekend from this terrible gorgeous place to another i... Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:05:24 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/second-day.html It's the second day with the tree. We've managed to lop all the leaf branches and haul to the burn pile...it's amazing how many small branches a big tree has! The pile's over 10 feet high and 20 feet in diameter, and that's with heavy branches weighi... Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:02:53 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/first-come-fisrt-serve.html Going to the first taker! Beautiful full grown ash tree with root ball and attached bird house! Fresh stock - acquired this morning at 4:45 a.m.! Sorry, can't let you have the hail...melted :( ...Bruce Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:38:54 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/after-fathers-day.html It was a busy day on Father's Day at the Studio here, we had 20 family members over for a great meal and a walk-about around the place...it was a glorious day to share with everyone. The week before we had all four grandkids here with us - what a tim... Sat, 31 May 2008 12:43:51 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/artisans-road-trip-2008-preview-exhibit.html An exhibit featuring the 2008 Artisans Road Trip artists is being hung this weekend at the Witter Gallery in Storm Lake, IA. Artists participating in the 2008 A.R.T. were to select 2 pieces of work from their collections to take to the Witter show. ... Sat, 24 May 2008 21:07:36 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/1-finally.html I finally got to my first painting in the new studio this week...ya I know, it's about time. I guess I've just been too busy finishing up old projects and paying bills. I haven't even thought of a title yet...and it may not even be fully complete,... Sat, 17 May 2008 13:40:35 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/help-its-spring-and-i-cannot-keep-up.html I'm sure anyone can relate to the sentiments of the title for today's blog! Ugh...so much to do, so little time! Every year I say, next spring I've got to do this, get there, see these, take this photo, do this painting, and on and on. The problem... Wed, 07 May 2008 15:40:52 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/dawn-chorus.html One thing I look forward to so much in the spring is the dawn chorus. And it is also the first thing I feel a bit sad to hear come to an end. I once did a piece to celebrate the dawn chorus, it was an American Robin singing from an old neighbor's ... Sun, 04 May 2008 14:35:27 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/completion-closer.html Georgie and I brought the deck very close to completion on Saturday. It's surprising that the rails would take so much time for a small deck like this but all the leveling and support work were very time consuming. We still have the rail for the s...

The project isn't about art per say, but has a lot of photography relating to my favorite subject (natural her... Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:16:00 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/back-to-the-workout.html I'm spoiled...Georgie's spoiled too because I've been in the studio working and out of her hair the past several weeks. But the frost is out of the ground and the "workout" has to begin once more. We're putting a deck entry in front of the buildin... Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:01:23 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/little-friends.html It finally warmed and dried enough for Georgie to get into the garden mid week. She always plants the cool season crops early but was behind schedule this year because we still had frost in the ground a week or so earlier. Georgie likes to get spi...
