Gardening on Easter Sunday 2014

Easter Sunday dawned with a bit of clouds in the sky, but no snow or rain. Last night my roommate said she wanted to put some straw as mulch on the first garden bed. I really wanted to clean the weeds out before she did that. When I got up and saw she was still […]

Successful Opening at Commonwheel Artists Gallery for Old Spokes

Tax day came and went without my even noticing it. My accountant has all my info and usually files for an extension. So won’t know what I owe for quite some time. I am very complicated with a variety of businesses, none of which make a lot of money yet. Not that I won’t someday […]

Tuesday morning I had a meeting at the Manitou Springs Chamber or iManitou with Leslie to discuss issues relating to the Art Festival on Labor Day Weekend. I discussed the Beer Garden […]

Long, but not Boring Board Meeting & Commonwheel Work Day

On Sunday, I got more items for the Commonwheel 40th Anniversary show into the Artists Statement File. I sent out a B&W copy of this File to people to try and inspire them to get me more of their Bio’s and photos to get that project closer to a finished state. I tried to get […]

Catching up and Catching my Breath

Some days just fly by, others whiz by, not drag by for me recently. I looked at my notes of what I did the last few days, and will only write up a few of them. With all the added expenses in my life, I again considered canceling my hair appointment last Friday, then decided […]
