Southeast Art Walk

We saw this fun art work at the Southeast Art Walk this past weekend. It is by Anna VonRosenstiel. www.avrdesigns.com Had to buy a piece for my dining room. The Art Walk is a fun activity each year in early March in the Richmond Neighborhood along SE Division Street and the surrounding blocks. It showcases artists that live in the neighborhood. Come out and support them. Put it on your calendar to attend next year. You’ll be glad you did!

The best event I ever went to was the Starlight Parade many years ago when the temperature was in the 80's for the evening parade.  We watched in our short sleeve shirts and shorts until it was over. Take a few moments. Dream that dream. Okay, now go buy your rain gear.

Get A Little Crazy!

Get your tin foil atennea on your head and drive to the 12th Annual UFO Festival May 13 and 14 in McMinnville. If you miss it this year, start in now on your costume (I mean space cosmo uniform) for next year. And keep your eye out for extra terrestrial house and garden ideas. Here's tuning you!
