My talented daughter, Jessica, shared her cool floral photos with me. I plan to use some of them to make new monoprints and in the fabric collage class I'm currently taking with Susan Sorrell. Susan is an inspirational fiber artist and generous teacher.

Terrier or Terror?

OK, Simon is a little too far along in dog years to be much trouble. Still dashes out the front door at every opportunity. And begs at the table. With that mug, he gets away with a lot.

Refuge

Let's give this blogging thing another try, says I. And let it begin with the place I go to forget what's going on in the real world.

My husband and I made this little beach cottage our own about 2 years ago.

The shore on the Long Beach peninsula in Washington state is wide open and often unoccupied, almost as far as the eye can see, allowing peaceful strolls with our terrier, Simon.

Peaceful, indeed.
