Contented as the cats

As I write this my two cats sleep at opposite ends of my bed,
the smell of chicken stew wafts up the stairs from the
kitchen to add to the overwhelming aroma of freshly
baked bread. We got a new breadmaker a few weeks
ago, but Steven isn't satisfied with the bread it bakes,
so he's making whole wheat bread from scratch and
baking it the traditional way in the oven. I heartily
support his choice, because the house smells super
for days.

Morning Glories climbing the banister
after the rain

It's been another wonderful day - rainy this morning
so we felt no obligation to be energetic. Steven
walked the dog then we chatted with our son in Korea.

I wanted to tell you about something happening
every Sunday that may interest you if you're
a portrait painter. Susan Carlin does a live video
cast. The pace is leisurely, you could
paint along, or wander in and out as I did watching
the piece progress and picking up tips.

In fact she helped me solve a problem I'm having
with a commission with her method of breaking
the image down into smaller parts.

If you know the name of these white flowers,
please write and tell me.
They're a beautiful end of summer flower.

I've got to go to school tomorrow, so this is it for
tonight.

Have an everything-looks-new day.
