CROW "Visiting Pumpkin Patch"

What a fun weekend my family and I had.  The Art Chix, a lovely group of enthusiastic and talented ladies from Seattle, visited several studios in our neighborhood including ours.  Roseanne Olson took some wonderful photos for the occasion.  Roseanne's Photos

We sipped apple cider and enjoyed pumpkin spice muffins at our studio/gallery.  Then Saturday evening, we all met down the beach for Paella and wine, ginger icecream, laughs and fun!  Paella is a wonderful rice dish that was cooked with clams from the beach and tomatoes from the garden all in a huge pan on an open fire.  Here are some recipes: http://www.spain-recipes.com/paellarecipes.html

Raccoons "Afternoon Cuddle" by my daughter


This weekend my daughter, Kathryn, is painting some lovely art cards. Here is one she completed of a family of raccoons. The mother is on the far left, curled around and the three babies are cuddling up to her.

Raccoons are a favorite subject of ours and we have a resident raccoon that visits the garden often.
