It was wayyy too early to start feeling S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) … but with 4 days of cloudy-gloom in AUGUST – that’s what was happening! So thank you sunshine for appearing! DH and the kids thank you too! My time in the studio was also much needed – and productive: Spoon rests cut; A …
OK – not always. But we do have our moments … Like – now. While granting me some alone/studio time, DH is making dinner, while the twins babysit the den (pups). Awww … And, I’ve got to show off the sweet card he gave me. Yeah – that would be his ‘southpaw’ chicken- scratch declaring …
No, not tulips … Puppies! The gang’s all here. Zonie started having her babies in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (about 4am) … Now, some 36 hours later (we all got some sleep), we are settling into a great routine of ‘life on the outside’ … In case you’re having trouble counting … …
Time to take a deep breath and hit the week running … In between the demands of daily driver’s ed for the twins, our puppy nursery (9 days old today), our canine ante-partum nursery (Mama Zonie is due this week), photography, shipping glass packages (love that), and working “Mom’s Diner” – I’ve got the DARN …

We’re settling into a good routine around here with the kids and dogs and pups … BTW – for all you Michigan folks – fair warning … the twins are now driving. Granted – not alone yet – so we’re all still safe for a bit longer … Anyway, a nice routine. Not much studio …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
You know you’re a Magda-wanna-be/die-hard sun-worshipper if … you found yourself in the pool this afternoon in Michigan – just in time for the threatening clouds to unload, as they had been promising to do all afternoon. Yep – that was me. I am now well-watered, along with the rest of my garden. But I …
In trying to grant the twins (quietly supervised) alone time with their teen-age friends, giving them full access to the house and pool – I’m stuck in my office, feeling like I’m in a time-out (can’t be in the studio, and my pool is over-run with loud, laughing teen-agers, and no ‘adult refreshments’ either!!) … [Heavy …
