The state of North Carolina, home of the tobacco industry, just banned smoking in all restaurants, bars and public places. I am personally thrilled, not being a partaker in the tabbacky. I have a completely different set of vices. Now I can go out without having to wash my hair immediately afterward. Hurray!

It’s been lovely here in the mountains, clean crisp and dry air after a rainy spell. The birds are a singing and the flowers are a blooming.
O.k. So a Happy Belated Mothers Day a week and a day late! Hope you enjoy this video by John Roberts. The comedian, not the Chief Justice. Although that would be a hoot wouldn’t it?
What was I thinking?! Here I go again learning a new web platform. At least once I get it down, I should be able to update it more than once every six months! No more sizing thumbnail images, large image views. Trying to make it easier sometimes is hard – at least at the onset! Here I am feeling crazy today. Time to take a walk in the beautiful forest and cleanse my eyeball palate. As Robert Frost said ‘ The only way out is through’. Once this is figured out, I can get back to paper, cloth, scissors, paint and all the stuff that feels natural.
