wow, the sky IS blue...


Yeah, so I had kind of forgotten what color the sky was supposed to be. We're going on week 2, or is it 3, of smoke. Its been so hazy and dirty here from all the fires in CA. I have lived here my entire life and do not remember it EVER being this bad. ugh.

We went over to the coat this afternoon for a couple of hours to celebrate my Mom's birthday at one of our favorite, fun restaurants and while it wasn't completely clear over there it was a breath of fresh air, literally. I tell you it felt great to breathe some clean, ocean air and a nice surprise to see a glimpse of blue sky when we returned home. That darned wind actually came in a bit handy today.

Not much else to report around here. I have been back on the purging band wagon. I cleared out 3 plastic tubs of fabric and random stuff from my storage space and made a BIG box to send up to Teesha for the AFF Art Asylum room. Yesterday I gave myself permission to get rid of gifts and knicky knacks that I don't like and cleared out some more space in my living room AND I busted my way into the studio and started getting rid of stuff from in there too. My goal is to have it organized and office ready by the time Hannah goes back to school at the end of August. I am trying to be ruthless. Wish me luck....

  1. We saw blue sky for the first time yesterday, too! We live in the East Bay area, near Mt. Diablo. Usually a beautiful place to live, but not last week!
