Robin's Nest with Two Eggs

Our back porch has become our favorite "outdoor living space" (as they call it on HGTV). No matter what season or weather, there are always birds chirping.  I'm not sure which bird says what, but I love hearing them.  I don't know where they hide their nests, but I love knowing they're there.

 This nest was the perfect get-back-into-it project for me after a couple of months without painting.

 AND... what a wonderful weekend!  I got to be a part of a painting workshop taught by Cheri Wollenberg at Welcome Home Retreat. It was a perfect balance of laughing... learning... relaxing... creating...!

 The technique for this one didn't involve a paintbrush for a long time.  We used rubber gloves, scraps of cloth dipped in paint, and then an eraser.  

 Lo and behold... it worked!

 Yay!!






Here's a little peek at the relaxing part.  Don & Jackie prepare such delicious meals and take such good care of us while we're there!
