"The Final Degree of Abstraction and Imagination Allied to the Real"
The weekend before, we went to another St. Louis cultural favorite, the Art Museum! Andrew and Juliana were in town so after our Saturday morning Kaldi's tradition, we packed up the caravan and headed towards Forest Park.
We were all very excited to see the Monet/Mitchell: Painting the French Landscape exhibition. We were greeted with a dapper Monet welcoming us to his Giverny gardens, with these two rich pieces as an introduction. The jewel-tone blues and greens draw you right in.
I'm Feeling Very Botanic Today
Part of the birthday weekend activities featured one of my local favorites, the Botanical Garden! We waited until Monday for two reasons: less of a crowd and less of a sunny heat wave.

Birthday Days
This is 33.
Well actually, this is 33, as we both turned a year older this weekend! That's right, Ethan and I are less than 24 hours apart. We figured it out one time, but I think he's something like 15 hours older than me.

So Be It, Jedi
May the Fourth be with you, always. And also with you!
As it is Star Wars day, let's look back at a little piece I did during Covid (a non-blogging year, as it were) as a one-year dating anniversary gift for Ethan. I had made him little notes and cards before, but this was my first piece of art I made specifically for him. It still sits on the windowsill in our dining room.
And here it is, still in it's spot on the sill, almost three years later. When the light hits it just so, we think it kindof looks like an old film strip, no?

All My Favorites
I wrote that last post sitting at my favorite table at my old college haunt, The Mudhouse! That's right, I'm back in Springfield for the night for my Drury Ten Year Reunion. It's actually been eleven years for me, but they grouped 2012 and '13 together, maybe due to Covid? Not sure, but anyway, most of my friends graduated in 2013 so it's more of an excuse for us to all get together.
My favorite drink, the Frozen Mudturtle, is still on the menu!
The Day's Intentions
Guess what time it is! That's right, Photos From Years Past!
