A Big Week in May

Both ends of week 21 were important days for me embracing genealogy and art. I'm certainly enjoying the comfortable weather too. The new Grant Deming Artist show has mostly new pieces. Mine were done last fall and are now named "Berries of the Asteroids" and Wandering in the Orchard."

More Weeks of May

I did a companion to the page for the week arriving in May and then a similar one. For the companion I used one of my own drawings. By now spring is some days sliding into summer and the hard winter is easy to forget until I look at some of the plants that show its effects.

Val C. Designer Spotlight

Val C. Designs is in the spotlight for the rest of May. We share birthdays in May and an interest in birds but we live far apart. Her designs have lots of appeal. Here's the story on the spotlight.

There's a free add-on and several challenges plus a sale in her shop.

We Made it to MAY!

Did you think the winter would never end? Sometimes we did, but now it is May and really spring. For the week bridging April and May I used a new template, not something I normally do. It's a pretty interesting one though. The week begins at a conference (birding in southern Ohio) and ends with the end of another conference (genealogy in Sandusky.)
