This is for the birds!

 This is one of the birds we saw in the everglades, an Ahinga (spelling?)

And this is a pelican we saw at a marina somewhere on the gulf side.
I'm not really into birds, but they are having a show here in Port called "Birds of a different feather" so I thought I would try to get in.  It is a juried show so who knows?  I only sent in the pelican.  I was happier with how it came out than I was with the Ahinga.  What do you think?

I did not get a phone call.

It is 6:30am and I am delivering documents to all 40 units in my building since I am the secretary of the board of directors and I have to deliver them at least 10 days before the annual meeting. I just finished getting them ready at 10:15 the night before so I am not feeling too bright and awake.   I met Becca on the elevator this morning.  Becca and I collected our morning paper and we are headed back up in the elevator and Becca says, "so did you get a phone call?"  I know I had a blank look on my face because I had no idea what she was talking about.  I said "huh?"  Becca says "you didn't get a phone call from the Arts Mill?"  I said no.  She says, "that means you are in!"  I said "huh?"  She says, "if you didn't get a call that means they accepted your painting."  The light dawns, and I am excited!  My first juried show and I am in! 

On the Interurban Trail

The Interurban Trail goes right by my building in Port Washington.  If you go north, you will get to Belgium, about 20 miles round trip.  The scenery is mostly farms.  Watch out for farm equipment!
