No, I won't be giving up my art career for music, anytime soon.

On the 4th of July, Montecito Sequoia has a cool tradition. Guests can build a bark boat (the base is a piece of bark from a tree) and then launch it in the lake at sunset. You can see our boat above and in the lake. I wrote our wishes on the sail.

Also on the 4th, dinner and dancing and all kinds of fun at the lake. Below is a super short video (24 seconds)  to give you an idea of the fun! (go to my blog to see the video)

  1. I've had these lovely wildflowers grow in my backyard and in the yard next door for several years and no one seemed to know what they were. They don't grow everywhere around here. And then I was enjoying your sketchbook pictures from camp and there were my flowers! Mountain Lupine..wonder how they ended up in NY?! I did do a picture but I guess I can't upload it here.
