Lazy Days

Drinking coffee and thinking about future paintings. There are a bunch of little black birds grazing on the front lawn. I really should find my oils and turpentine.

Calpurnia

I believe I already have shown you my kitten, Calpurnia, but I think a more formal introduction is in order. We got her in May from the SPCA, she was born in February. Eric and I picked her because she was the one that purred when each of us held her. She is named after Caesar's last wife, who had the prophetic dream about his death. It is only later that we realized that Calpurnia is also the name of the maid/nanny in To Kill A Mockingbird mainly due to the fact that Eric's dog is named Scout.
Her hobbies are hunting toes, climbing the furniture, sleeping, and cuddling. I think she is right-pawed. She eats everything, which means if you leave your plate unattended she will climb on top of it, assuming that you made her a lovely meal.

One Year Left

I'm getting married in exactly one year (6/19/2010)!!!!

Goodbye Peonies!

Peonies are one of my favorite flowers, they look like huge balls of tissue (note: these pictures are not of a peony at its best, for those of you who have never seen one before). The fragrance they give out is also stunning, but alas their season is gone and I have to say goodbye. I can't wait until next year when they will surely play a role in my wedding.

Yellow on Pink

Recently a yellow rose bloomed from a pink rose bush in my garden. It was really stunning as well as slightly eerie.

Strawberry Cake

Lots of baking going on! This is one of my own inventions, very fun to make as well as very light. One of my favorite things about it is that it looks like a quilt, oh and my fiance loves it.

The Newness of Summer

Ok its been a while, a long while, but look I'm still alive! I've been keeping busy mostly by graduating from college, being engaged, getting a kitten (Calpurnia), figuring out graduate school plans, the GRE, and trying to paint more as well as sell more paintings. My eye twitches just reading that list. Speaking of things that I'm doing I also started a new blog its mostly an art journal/ a way to sell my paintings.



This one is called "The Fish".

Like I said school is out (for an entire year!) so at least I'm cooking/baking more as well as taking more walks, I also hope to be blogging more. Seeing as I now have two blogs I pretty much have too.
