Scenery, Spoons and Socks

near Viroqua, Wisconsin

I have been learning some new skills, specifically spoon carving and sock knitting. I'm also working on the weaving projects that have been on my loom for some time. All of this has been very invigorating. I'm trying to learn to play the ukulele as well. Who says retirement is boring!

Ramblin' by the Roadside

I've been out painting along the byways of rural Wisconsin and enjoying the changing weather and Autumn color of the fields of Vernon County. The area is quite full of rolling hills and valleys, dips and

dives, with views in every direction and a peaceful sort of atmosphere that is pleasant while it lasts. (Next time out I'll place the road on the left hand side of the page just for a change.)

Three from the Driftless

Farmhouse and creek near Towerville Wisconsin

Viroqua Wisconsin (view from my new balcony)

Avalanche, Wisconsin

The last month has brought many changes into my life. A small town in Wisconsin's Driftless area has been calling to me and I have answered the call. I am ( and have been) in the process of moving and though I have continued to sketch, the blog has taken a back seat. I am hoping this new venture will be a creative and life giving change. I relish more open space, the slower pace and more opportunity for reaching friends (by walking) during the coming winter storms.
