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!
