It’s winter, it’s winter, it’s winter…and then suddenly…it’s spring. How did that happen so fast? Here’s what’s happening out there today…

Shelter…

Wonderful Weekend Part 2: the Museums
One reason we went to Seattle was to see the Picasso show…a whole range of work remaining in his collection at his death. All the museums we visited this weekend have changed their photo policy, allowing photos in the museums…but NOT (as you might have guessed) at the Picasso show…so all I can show you […]
