ongoing and fleeting
Old Settler’s Days has come to a close for another year, ending a short while ago with a fireworks display. The kids and I found out we can see some of them over the tops of the trees from our front yard, and with a few steps to the right, can see all but a few in their entirety. Rather nice, that. All the magic of fireworks and none of the hassle of finding a parking spot or walking with a bunch of other people. The fireworks this year were very nice, and I daresay they went on longer than Beloit’s Fourth of July display.
Today, I had the pleasure of participating in the Winnebago Library Garden Walk, in Winnebago, Illinois. The town is not too far from my hometown. My good friend and I went and set up, myself inside the library and her outside on the lawn. Several additional vendors came and participated as well, selling items as varied as plants, vegetables and fishing lures. I had a pleasant time, met some great people, and left behind a limited showing of my work. I will pick up the prints on August 15th, but until then, they are hanging in one of the rooms for the community to enjoy (and take home with them, should they wish). It’s rather exciting to me, as this is really the first “public exhibit” of my work.
The flower pictures I’ve posted here are new, taken this weekend at my mom’s home. She has a large variety of flowers and plants in her yard, and watching things evolve over the days and weeks is a treat. It’s always difficult to know what to show on my blogs and my other online homes, and what to print for sale at my events. Tastes vary widely and much as I would like, I’m still unable to read minds. Drat!
I hope you had a great weekend. Tomorrow – another week begins, with new adventures.
beautiful flowers , and very nice pictures.
Thank you.
