What time is it?

Our Guatemala clock becomes a Zhangye China clock as Fran tries her hand at Chinese characters.



















The literal translation is Middle Kingdom.

A Sunday arts and crafts day

A "chill" Sunday was the perfect day to get those bird houses painted as well as create the "to" signs for the back yard (reminiscent of the sign post on MASH). I spent the day taking out old fence posts.

Here the two creative minds of the operation









The first of the "to" signs for the sign post. Other signs will include: San Francisco, Zhangye Gansu, Fort Collins, Windham NH and Moab UT. Images will come later.












The finished products hidden among the greenery.











The two artists with their masterpieces.










What can I say?

Across the country


The last 3 weeks were spent driving to New England and back again. I can't say it enough...this is a big country!
