Watching out the window through the rain, waiting for visitors to pull into the driveway. SUNDAY ON THE TOUR 1. It was overcast with rain imminent. I waited inside by the fire with my knitting for the first hour. Finally moved out to the studio and listened for the sound of cars and car doors […]
Three Rivers Studio Tour Ten Wrap-up, part 2
Zeke’s only appearance of the day was when the sign was uncovered in the morning. SATURDAY SPECIFICS 1. It was sunny and clear and not hot and very beautiful 2.

They’ve been awaiting a mural for several years now. The photo was chosen, but it never seemed urgent. Now that Studio Tour Ten is almost here, the […]

Three Rivers Studio Tour 10 is coming
