I’ve taken some of Jude Hill’s archived online classes and right now I’m taking her Contemporary Boro I class. Online classes usually don’t do much for me.

A wet morning, with the temperature dropping all day to settle around 4 to 8 degrees tonight. We ain’t used to this down here. I picked up that beautiful blue and green stone on a Puget Sound beach. Theo is still my lil sweet potato and he still likes to play.

Pablo is in love with the kitten in the dishwasher. I will continue to try to get the audio – he is hilarious but stops meowing and warbling as soon as he notices me watching. The cardboard is taped under the dishwasher and cabinets because there are holes that kittens can see and fit into…
