A pair of Canada geese are on guard and carefully watch from under the pier as they are protecting their tiny little baby as the swans swim by. Then there is Henry, our Canada goose who can't fly. Henry swims with whoever will let him and constantly alters his plans to deal with his disability. Awe, life! I want to stay and take in this peaceful sight as long as I can before I head back to the studio to start creating.
The Lemon Creek Art and Wine show last weekend couldn't of been hotter at 97 degrees!!! They say we broke the temperature record and I will attest it was sweltering! It was hard to breath and thank goodness we have installed a battery operated fan in our booth as I'm not sure how I would of made it through without it. Sunday morning the weather was even worse! I got up took a hot shower and started the dryer, figured I might as well get prepared for the day ahead! Ken & Chris were a big hit and the highlight of the day when they showed up Sunday evening with two boxes of ice cream bars. The artist's around me were all so thankful and as we enjoyed our treats it reminded me of the day's when the ice cream man would come down the street and all the kids would flock to his cart, waiting impatiently for our turn to pick our favorite treat, I loved the blueberry Popsicles the most, but then again those orange cream push ups were yummy too!
This coming weekend is the Kalamazoo Art on the Mall show that run's Friday and Saturday and the rain and cool weather appear to have moved in for the next few days. Won't need ice cream bars, maybe a hot bowl of chicken soup! What a contrast from last weekend, guess I better go dig out my thermals. Like Henry who can't fly, I may not like what's life is dishing out but I need to adjust my sails and be prepared for the cooler weather and rain this weekend! There are so many things to do in Kalamazoo this weekend, with two art shows the Greek fest and more. Come on out, bring your umbrella and your sweat shirt too and enjoy the day that the Lord has made!
Time to go to work, my studio is calling and so are the 20 pairs of earring I designed yesterday. Guess I better go get them polished, wired up and ready to go so I can add these new pretties to my display at the Art on the Mall show tomorrow.
