Morning

 "Under a Patterned Sky"

I went for a 30 minute walk this morning at a timed speed. I am very pleased I could do this. It is sunny but with a nice breeze so although I did work up a good sweat, I was not physically uncomfortable.

I am going to go on putting in a manipulated-with-Paint Shop Pro photograph for a few days until I get bored with it. This one started as an evening on Lake Champlain picture. I put a patterned sky in there and enhanced the orange color a little bit. One thing I am noticing about my photographs which was also true of my drawings is that I tend to put the object of interest smack-dab in the middle of the page.  This is not necessarily bad but often a more interesting picture is formed when the center of interest is off-centered.

Tonight is the book club meeting and I hope I will get to see Martha who is the local coordinator for the Everyone Wins reading program. I got a letter announcing the organizational meeting at our local school but no time! And, of course, I cannot for the life of me remember what time it was when I used to go up to school to read with Nick! And also, I am wondering if I actually need to go to this meeting since the letter said it is for new people and I am a returning mentor. Martha is very well organized and will know all this.
Things to do today:

• dishes
• another walk
• vacuum the carpets
• go to the book club meeting {and return my library books when I do}

Ok, that’s it.

Until later…
