Chicken and Goose Eggs

The other day David and I were out walking and we found an abandon goose egg. Of course I had to bring it home. If it hadn't been ice cold, I would have tried to hatch it. I did take pictures of it sitting next to a large chicken egg - quite a difference. David is going to drill holes on the ends of it so I can drain out the yolk and keep it. Someone told us that it has a goose egg has a green yolk, so I'm very curious to see.

New Series - 'Coffee Stories'

I have started a new series called 'Coffee Stories.' Coffee is so satisfying. You drink it in the morning to wake up and warm up; you drink a cup as you visit with a friend or friends; the aroma is better than anything; it mixes with many flavors, cream, sugar, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, or anything you wish; you can drink it hot, iced or blended; it's nice to drink by a nice warm fire as the winter winds are raging outside, and my husband's thoughts - a guy's perspective - like gasoline is to your car, coffee is to your body.

Here are a couple of paintings and greeting cards I have done in the past along with some new drawings. In this series I will use a number of mediums to accomplish my coffee related artwork. From time to time I will be posting some of my work. My intent with this series is to have a solo show and possibly shows at a couple coffee houses.

Here is a sample of what I already have done and what is to come. . .

Things I've Enjoyed This Weekend

My Aunt Esther put a post on her blog 'Things I've Been doing.' So, I decided to copy her and put this post on my blog.

Some Things I've Enjoyed This Weekend:

• Anthony's surprise visit home - even if it was to see a friend home from the service - we enjoyed as much time with him as we got to have.
• Worship service on a sunny February morning.
• David's sermon on relationships. He's doing a Lenten series called 'By His Stripes We Are Healed' which is about God healing relationships.
• Making homemade chicken alfredo pizza with my daughter Becca - yum it was good - I should have taken a picture!

Below is a photo I took of my dried roses - a nice reminder of how sweet my husband is.

Minneapolis Institute of Arts

David and I went to the Foot in the Door 4 reception last night. It was fun to see all the artwork. It was easier then I thought it would be to find our work. We went early before a lot of people got there. My firend, Kim, her daughters, Hannah and Emily went later and said that it took them a half hour to find a parking place. They also had to stand in line for 20 minutes to get in. She said the people watching was good - like looking at artwork! Here are some pictures I took:
