Rain's Thursday Art Date - Your Flower

White Rose ACEO

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date! 'Your flower' is the theme this week. It turns out that my birthday is on the cusp of the Zodiac, Gemini-Cancer. So I am showing an older piece I did of a lavender pot of flowers, and I did an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") of a white rose. These are my 'cusp' flowers.

Some memes

I saved some fun memes for your entertainment today:

Physical address book

Toronto has closed their High Park  for the cherry blossom season to avoid dangerous crowds at this time of COVID.  You can however watch the live bloom cam they have set up here.

I decided after many many years to create a new physical address book. The old one we kept by the kitchen phone was outdated and quite messy after many updates scratched in over the years. Do you still use a physical address book?

A lovely story

We had a day of summery, sunny weather yesterday and enjoyed it as best we could, sitting out in the back yard then going out for a walk.  Many wear masks on their walks, we haven't been, just when we go to the grocery store. 

I found this lovely story from an old post I had made in 2010, if you would like to read it. I had titled it 'because of love'. Interestingly my friend Kathy left a comment there, we have been blog buddies for quite a while!

A champagne birthday

Son K delivered a cake I made for daughter L's birthday to her last week.  I also made one for us and we celebrated over Facetime.  Baking cakes is not my specialty but I was pleased with the result.  It is a banana cake with chocolate buttercream icing.  I will be making it again.

A champagne birthday for L apparently meant that she turned 28 on the 28th!  So it is when the date of someone's birth and his age are the same, did you know that?

The Right Foot

How smart is your right foot? This one is entertaining.
