Dryers Broke too! But I'm painting!

HI, I'm still trying to  fix the photo problem. When my son comes home I hope he can fix it, if I haven't figured it out by then.  I'm not a computer expert by a long shot.


This week Cupcake Mayhem, our new kitty, had her hysterectomy surgery at Dr. Bailey's. She did fine and is now sleeping on the bed resting. She's doing fine.


 Sadie ,our lab,and I had a wonderful play date with Beth and her puppy Charlie. I wish you could have seen them running in the water --Occohonack Creek--toward a flock of Canadian Geese!! The geese were taking off and the dogs splashing.  It was so gorgeous. I said it looked like an L.L. Bean commercial.  Two Labrador Retrievers!


I've been painting some small landscapes of the Eastern Shore. Today the painting is of 3 old boats floating in the creek. I need to add more color to it and tighten up my lines of the boats.  This Saturday is the Eastern Shore Community College Heritage Festival. I'll be there showing my art. It's a fun day, I hope By the Bay Alpacas are there, I love to go visit with them. Copper Creations will be there and so will Gertraude Fendler with her Sea Glass Jewelry and Mama Girl with her Folk Art so it will definitely be a day with good friends.


 Take care and stay warm. There are signs of spring here. Crocus and my Hellebore are in bloom!!! I need color  , the greys have been a downer. Our clothes dryer died last night, so I have clothes hanging everywhere in the house to dry. Wonder if company is coming to visit?


 love to each of you,Diana

Alpacas and Peppers

HI, yesterday was a nice day at the Tomato Festival, I had some nice sales and it was warm and sunny. Saw quite a few friends and that was great. Here is a little pepper painting I got finished in the nick of time to frame for the show. I had planned to put a small mat on it but after I looked at the black around it I liked the way it looked with the white showing the black edges so I used a larger mat.

Today exhausted I missed church and slept in, I had heard from the Bear and Cub newsletter about the By the Bay Alpaca farm ,in Craddockville, having an open house so I went by with my camera!! It was wonderful. I was the only one there at first and Tara and Andrew gave me a tour, Tara let me go into the pasture where I met and fed the beautiful alpacas,just as we got into the gate I came face to face with China, we looked at each other and SPLAT.. all over me.. hahah.. she spit on me.. face to face.. and IT was all over me, in my hair, all over my shirt, glasses.. here are some pictures of the Alpacas! thank you Tara and Andrew.. take care, Diana
