Paint Party Friday - River

Wow we are already at the end of July! I wish time wouldn't fly so fast.

Anyway, it's time for Paint Party Friday! Thanks to our hosts Kristin and Eva. I did a river scene today on good quality cardstock (6" x 6") in watercolour pencil. Those are salmon swimming upstream.

Green Passion Smoothie

I had a good coupon, so I went to Panera Bread and had this green passion smoothie. It was divine and I slurped it all up in no time!

Sealeg Salad

I made this quick cherry tomato and cucumber salad and threw in a handful of flaked sealegs (artifical crabmeat) and was surprised at how good it was. The saltiness of the sealegs and the raspberry vinaigrette dressing really added to the flavour.

Our Muskoka Visit 2015

We went up to Muskoka to visit daughter L's boyfriend's family at their cottage as we have been doing the past couple of years. The weather was fantastic, we went on a perfect boat ride. We came back a day early as their water pressure machine broke and we were without water Sunday night. We figured it would be easier all around so they could get it fixed.  L stayed with her boyfriend until the next day.

Sunday Sketches - Old Bridge

I was thinking what I could do for Sunday Sketches and decided to sketch an 'Old Bridge'. It's in my sketchbook (9" x 12") in watercolour crayon.

Wildflowers

The wildflowers are at their best at this time of year. Ironically, I've been so busy picking weeds out of my lawn, I never noticed a couple of huge trees taking over a garden.  I think it's an oak and an ash, but I could be wrong.  In a couple of months they have grown so tall and the shrubs beside them are choking and dying.  I would leave them if there was room but they are too close to the house.
