Cat Days of Summer, pt. 3

We are deep into the "Cat Days of Summer" and Wesley is doing his best to stay cool and calm during these blistering days.

A gift from the far north

Belinda was presented with a decorative art plate by a member of our church, Myrle Myers, who had just returned from a fishing trip to Alaska. The "hummingbird plate" has found a home on our mantel.

Sammy's Sunday visit

Sammy paid a visit to Charles Sunday morning, checking out his sermon prep in the relative cool of the church.

A completed painting

Koskenlaskijan morsiamet (The Rapid Rider’s Brides)

36x48, oil on canvas

Charles completed a painting this weekend that took longer than anticipated due to the heat and extended drying time needed for the oil paints.

The cat days of summer, part 2

Sammy, the neighborhood cat, wandered into Charles' office this morning. Charles was guessing that Sammy was looking for a safe, comfortable, and cool place to rest before continuing his rounds on another hot day in Boulder.

Painting a Birdhouse on a Summer's Day

Today, Belinda and some of her P.E.O. Sisters gathered under a large shade tree in the lovely back garden of another P.E.O. Sister to paint birdhouses. It was a relaxing, fun thing to do on a summer's day! Belinda gave her finished birdhouse to a P.E.O. Sister who was not able to participate. Blessings abound!

Back to work

Charles took advantage of a "cooler" morning to mow the church lawn. We've had some rain this week and the grass was looking a tad lush!

A step back in time

This past week, Charles discovered a Pac-Man game machine at the Old Santa Fe Mexican Grille in Louisville. He was "in the zone!" One quarter can buy a lot of fun!

Cat days of summer

The Dog Days of Summer are upon us, but that doesn't mean much to Wesley. He has ample places to ponder the activity in the our neighborhood and we're sure that he has time to be thankful that he doesn't have to be out in the summer heat!
