Fun ride along the Mississippi River

Last weekend the weather was too good for a person to stay home.Warm,sunny,bright,gorgeous!We had the urge to do something different so we decided on a trip along the Mississippi River.My daughter invited a friend to join us.We crossed the river in Winona and rode along the Wisconsin side enjoying the view and the pretty little towns at the water front.This ride was so refreshing and uplifting, a good medicine against the six month long cabin fiver.In my next post I am going to show more pictures from this ride.

Summer

We had a few warm and sunny days. The nice weather  calls our names and we spend more time outdoors. Walks, bike rides ,hanging out in the back yard with the guinea pigs or watering my little veggie patch. No much time for sketching or drawing. The drawing in the first picture is an old one. It reflects my mood at the moment. The red shoes remind me about the pain in my right foot I am dealing with. I haven't been to the doctor yet hoping to walk it off but if it goes on like that I will have to go. I do not let it stop me from doing fun staff though. It is summer!

*****

Random pictures from June. Unpredictable weather, rain and sunshine, rain and sunshine, then rain again. The level of the rivers are high giving reasons for worries. We are in and out, in and out, trying to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. A regular work week with no much time and energy for creativity. Substituting drawing with photography. Finding the beauty in the everyday life. Tending to a sick Guinea pig. He got his last dose of antibiotic yesterday and he is feeling much better.

Christmas lights-1

I love to turn the light off and turn all my Christmas lights on.It looks so magic.

Our Garden

Here you can enjoy pictures of our garden or may be it is right to say my husband's garden.Gardening is his hobby and I am just an admirer.I like to take pictures of the flowers and the plants and recently I have got interested in buying decorations for the garden.

It Is Not Here Yet

All the sighs are present but spring is not here yet.The weather this spring is horrible.If it is sunny it would be windy and cold,if it is warm it will rain or be cloudy and gloomy.It is not fun to go on a bike ride because it is so windy every time I decide to go.The last time I went on a bike ride the wind knocked me off my bike and I hurt myself.I am afraid I am getting a weather depression.The art is the only thing that keeps me with my marbles.
