I'm still here!...

Kejimkujik Lake, at Peter Point Beach. 21 April 2007.

Boy, have I been slack with posting. And with art, as well. I've worked on a few things these past two weeks, including a few stones. I tried carving a chunk of raw amethyst I found on the North shore a few years ago, but found out that it's too hard to carve. I burnt out three diamond bits right away, and barely made a scratch on the stone.

I have been outdoors since last Friday enjoying the beautiful spring weather we've finally been treated to. The photo above is from a ladies-only hike into Keji I took with four friends on Saturday. It was such a great day - no kids, no men, just good friends and a couple bottles of wine. My kind of hike :) . The temperature rose to 20*C, and I hiked in a t-shirt. It was really the nicest day of the year so far. And it was a lovely day to begin life - another friend delivered, with the help of a midwife at her home, a beautiful baby girl early Saturday morning. Welcome, Synia!

So, please forgive my slackness, dear readers, for spring has finally arrived, and spring fever has struck full force. I hope to be back soon with something more to post.
