What gorgeous weather. Great house guests!
I have been busy entertaining and enjoying the great out of doors, but I have managed to get in a little more studio time. I played with aspen trunk and leaf placement this afternoon. Everything is pinned in place. I can see that the one set of leaves is a little clumpy, might want to work on that.
Last night, we had our first party on the deck. We had the family and two of Lisa’s artist friends here for dinner. I had vegan fare of chicken seitan and mushroom kabobs and lamb kabobs for the carnivores. We also had lavash and tzatziki, roasted potatoes and couple of fabulous salads. I made blackberry/apricot puff pastry tarts for dessert with coconut bliss vanilla ice cream. Here are some photos.
Pensive Miles. So handsome!
Lisa and Pablo, her friend, Trish’s. chi.
Steph and Mia with Pablo.
And Scooter, being a good boy! He got his summer do yesterday.
Tonight we are off to our monthly Sojourners dinner. I am taking salad. Better get to it and make myself look presentable.
Btw, are those leaves just laying there or are they intended to be 3-d? I’m really liking the 3-d look.
The aspens are beautiful. So is your family!
Love seeing M&M grow up — they are beautiful, as are the rest of your family members.
I don’t see any clumpy leaves, but it is early on Sunday morning and anyway, we are always more critical of our own work, aren’t we? I’ll look for the next version sans clumps to see if I can see a difference.
LOVE the aspen quilt!
Your quilt in progress looks great.
Nice pictures of the family. Lucky you! It’s still a bit too cold here to have a party outside at night.
Your aspen trees are coming along beautifully!
The aspen tree is looking awesome, Gerrie. Great photos and family time too it looks like.
Hi Gerrie,
I am an avid follower of your blog and I have a labradoodle named Rascal who could be Scooter’s brother. I love his new hairdo and have printed a picture so I can show my groomer. I hate having all the curls disappear so keeping his head furry is the perfect solution.
Thanks for a wonderful blog.
