I got to display some of my artwork at Snowbound Books for the Art Week in town. My two newest oil paintings went up, one of which barely dried.
It's been a while I exposed my art in public... at the reception/ art stroll last night I had some wonderful opportunities to meet people and other local artists. I should start a new painting now!
It turned out to be a beautiful UP June weekend... the temps between 40 and 60 with plenty of sunshine. We went to Apple Creek both days. Fun fishing, not good catching. Everything has gotten even greener. Ferns are getting tall.
Sunday we had a tasty riverside pasty lunch to celebrate a Father's Day.
I (who had chest-waders on) crossed to the other side to retrieve one of Joe's favorite lure that he lost when the water was high. It gave me a different view of the stream... but then I ended up losing my lure right after this. My knot came undone when I caught a very nice Brookie. Sigh.
We had a rare craving for pizza... so we made pizza at home. Not too bad a job for us two non-Italians!
We waited, and waited for so long. Now that spring and summer arrived all at once, we are realizing there are so many things we want to do. Memorial Day has come and gone already (the above picture is the proof). Since, we've had some hot pot dinner weather here and there, but this week we actually believed Winter has left for good.
It's trout season. Every chance we get, we go fishing, even in the middle of week. Just to catch a beautiful evening on the river.
Our rhubarb was ready to be picked, and I wanted fresh rhubarb pies.
It always amazes me how such a strange plant makes oh so delicious pie fillings.
Mmmmm.
Conveniently we ran out of oatmeal for breakfast. Homemade rhubarb pie a la mode, I must say, makes the best breakfast. Only better if I had a day off to go fishing with Joe after this.
Part of the reasons time is flying by is that I NEED to finish this painting before the end of June for a small art display. Wish me luck.
