Fun in the Sun along the Connecticut River

On Friday, July 19, it was summer hours at work.  Myself and my co-workers were able to leave work at Noon.  This allowed us to plan a doggie play date down at the Connecticut River.  We arrived at 1:30 pm to find that the river was at low tide, which revealed the sandbar that runs along the Meadows Park. We were all able to walk out to the sandbar and enjoy a refreshing dip in the water giving all of us a break from the heat wave. Mollie had an amazing afternoon swimming in the river as she chased her tennis balls. Her sister Emmie, was not ready to swim out into the deeper water. While my girl's doggie friends Banx her Boarder Collie and Myka looked on from the shore.  This afternoon was topped off with pup cups for the dogs and ice cream treats from Higgies, Higganum, Connecticut.  These photographs were taken by Olivia Drake with her IPhone.

Family Photo

Here we are... one big happy family on Easter Sunday at Christ Episcopal Church, Middle Haddam, CT.  Mollie (on the left) will be 3 years old on May 20th and Emmie (on the right) will be 2 years old on June 2nd.  We reserve the right to keep our ages under wraps... okay, we are older than 21 but younger than 60.  You can guess.  Lots of love to all who preview this photo.

Coffee, tea, treats, plant and other special events in my office

This is a photo of the wall across from my desk.  The little box is filled with cash and coins from all the donations for the coffee, cocoa, and tea drinks.

Yarn and needles.

This little gem was taken while I was creating a photo lesson for my Green Street Arts Center students. The scarf is still a work in progress.

Yellow crocus on the first day of spring 2013.

We had a spring snow storm in March.  Our yellow crocus had just bloomed.  Fortunately the snow melted quickly once the sun came out.

Emmie loves to have her photo taken.
