Hey, Sibulants et al, No one has entered anything since March? Now, I'm one for well-ordered lives, but someone has to be doing something interesting out there. Not me. Perhaps I should wait for Matt to break the news, but he's going to be in China for another year. They've extended their teaching contract with the University, and they may stay still longer after next year, if they find jobs in that part of the world. I'm thoroughly enjoying my painting class, and even though Georgia O'Keefe has nothing to worry about in the way of competition, my techniques are getting better. Weed whacking and painting. Yep. I'm excited about the fact that Shelly is going to swing up here after one of her business trips. It will be so much fun. This is a perfect time to say that I always love company, one and all, so don't be shy. The donkey is in training right now, so he isn't on the property, and it's honestly a bit of a relief. He can be quite a pill. Maybe with training he'll be a little easier to deal with. I'm taking a cruise to Alaska this August. The cruise will be part of a continuing education series of classes, so I will have to attend class now and again. I'd love some company, if anyone is interested in going with me. Treebling is looking spectacular right now. Everything is so green, and the trees are all in full leaf. The redbuds put on a great display this year. We've had so little rain I'm afraid the green won't last long. Sigh. That's all for now. TY, Julia B. of Treebling
