Day 3 - Crazy Running & Friends

Thursday was going to be interesting from the start…
It was going to be a weight watchers meeting then off to see some friends for brunch that I haven't seen for about 5 years…

With the discovery of the deer tick on my belly yesterday (leaning over plants to collect seeds must've been how it got there) - well, it just got crazy. I won't go into details - it was just one little thing after another, and another that just makes you exhausted by day's end (I crashed before Chloe last night at 9:30).

Can I just say: you know you are in the presence of amazing and interesting people artists, when your jaw just drops upon entering their home because they have put so much of themselves into their home and you immediately feel all the energy there and want to just soak it all into yourself and work from it…

That was Anne's house and garden!

I had a great time hanging out with the girls - we caught up, toured Anne's house, laughed together, and ate some wonderful food. The perfect way to spend a late morning…

I could have taken tons of pictures of all the amazing areas in Anne's house. I loved: "this is my arts and crap room". I'm going to use that one… Dave will get a kick out of it.

I snapped a few pictures here and there…
I was too occupied and overwhelmed visually to take it all in and get the camera out.
Yes, even the little rug in her bathroom was inspirational (see the background pattern too? Wow!)

I just tried to soak it all in and pull some of her artistic sense out of it all…

We had a little running joke about me blogging for 8 blogs and the technology I had (iPhone) with me. Dolores asked: What kind of Begonia is that? I said: I'll take a picture and post it on my blog to see if we can get an answer… So - Do you know what kind it is?

Hope you are having a wonderful day…
Let's see what I can get out of Day 4 today…

I think later, Chloe and I will be going to Longwood Gardens for their "Honey Harvest" this evening to learn about honey, bees and flowers. A little one on one time with mom… Can't wait!
