Started reading “No Bad Parts”, a book about the Internal Family Systems model. Only a chapter in and I feel like I am learning so much.

One thing we discussed during the pizza feedback session is that the speaker diversity was abysmal this year, but it never has been super great at unconferences in particular. It's a tough nut to crack for a variety of reasons, but I think we need to do something about that and if we do this again next year, I think I would like to focus on that particular problem.

Long way ’round back home

...took the long rambling way back home, stopping a few times to take more photos. Got home and did this, which really didn't look like any of the clouds specifically but the landscape was pretty clo[…]

Recommended reading and listening

I read it and had huge ah HA! moments. The (couples) therapy wasn't successful but I found it personally successful. Since then, I've recommended the book to lots of people over the years, along with a couple […]

June the First – another 30 days?

Trying to put in what’s there

In an effort to add the rhododendron as a dark contrast I did this tonight. Too wet to finish and some tree shape problems but not horrible.[…]

Sunday Evening Paint

Well, it was an oddish Sunday at home. Even had a nap thrown in for good measure. Maybe it was the heat. Whatevs. Too dark to paint outside when I finally saw the last hummingbird off. So far still o[…]

Sunday, after dinner

The light is gone. I may have overdone on pasta. I went out on the porch to catch the last hummingbirds, listen to birds and visit with the plants. Now that they're in their summer homes, sometimes t[…]

Saturday in the Yard

Quiet Saturday with an early start. The flies (and if I have to be truthful - inchworms) are out in full force so it takes some doing to sit outside and paint in the yard but I managed to do this.[…]
