Another day of rest


It rained today so I don't have to wash the car.

Caught up on blogging,
went to the Texas Pastel Society show
where a painting of KJ won first prize in portraiture.
Congratulations, Susan!

An evening of Bones,  and CSI doing a Star Trek episode - bliss.

Artful


Finished the decklet railing, and went to two museums today. (It was free day for both). 
We walked into the San Antonio Museum of Art and there was an organ concert going on - so we got to hear the Bach Toccata and Fugue and Liszt's variations on the notes B-A-C-H (H is B natural, as it turns out; B is B-flat). Gorgeous. 

And then lots of large scale contemporary paintings including some giant botanical paintings that redefine the genre, and a lot of contemporary Latin American paintings that I adored. My brain is full.

Really tired now.

a very fine day.
