Front Yard Thanksgiving Weekend
Right out my bedroom window. If you look carefully, you can see the lake on the other side of the deciduous trees
Birches in the works
Well, I finally have a studio.. a closet..
This is going to be a fun winter, stuck in a closet to do art. Let me know what you think!

September 2007
I have been depressed since the end of July, when we had to move Joseph back to a group home. Nothing gives me pleasure. Not Art, Gardening. I am at war with God. I want to neither work nor sleep. Ive started watching crime dramas in bed at night.
But something clicked. My mother (Aunti Barb) and her new husband are visiting soon. I am worried about how awful my house looks. We werent able to replace it with a modular this year due to finances. I dont want her to see the way I live.... so I begin to do something about it.
I sponge painted the living room, packed up some things for storage. Added some annuals to a garden I thought was done for the year. I readied the boys for the new school year. I tried to wait patiently for my Aunt and Uncle to arrive.
Yay.. so here it goes. The weather was awful, I got to spend time with my new uncle ( I like him!) Jon took time off work and drove us to see moose and mountains. My aunt found a rock for my garden. I remembered that my family is pretty is awesome. I didnt want them to leave. Hopefully they will come again.
The shape of my house and life does not matter - my family loves me.

Time Takes Time
Whats to be said about an entry that only one person is meant to read? This blog is a continuim.. even my husband - my life mate has made little reference here yet. I have an opportunity to write only late at night and early in the morning. More will be said, more needs to be said. Peace please. I am too old and hormonal for anything else.
Early 1996
I believe this was Joseph at around 9months. He sure does look happy. Things were pretty happy then. We had no idea Joseph would be diagnosed with Autism, we had bought our first home. Both boys were active, loving and growing.
