sunny days

Only 7 weeks until we head north to the Boise area - home. This winter in AZ has not been nice, way too many allergies related to mold. One doesn't think of the desert harboring mold, but it does. Have had more asthma this winter than in my lifetime. We get wind and mold spores blowing after each rain...and there have been more this winter than usual. Right now the mold and pollen counts are off the charts. Am eager to head home.

On the flip side, we are very happy to have asparagus, berries and fruit in the markets. Lovely. Raspberries and asparagus both for dinner. Doesn't get much better than that.

I'm working on three landscapes: a desert scene, fall in the mountains and summer in farm country. The design wall is full. Work on one until I get stuck, then switch to another. Free cut the farm scene without a pattern - a first. Very liberating but not likely to do it again. Prefer more precision.

Friends are coming to visit in April, the two school chums. We met at ages 7 and 8 making this a 60 year anniversary. We've been able to spend time together most summers - unusual to still be friends after all this time. Am busy planning menus and thinking of day trips. Wouldn't be surprised if they just wanted to chat by the pool, swim and lunch out with a few shopping trips. More friends are visiting this spring and summer in ID. Then comes the 50th class reunion...where does the time go?

Blessings,
MaryJo
