Oasis...

I have found an oasis in the city...


A place near where I live and can bike to...
And sit...
And read...


And feel grounded 

and 

close to nature



I'm grateful for my bike, my perseverance, the city of Albuquerque, 
the volunteers at the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park, the state of New Mexico
and Antoine Predock for designing this 
portal...

forcing mySelf....

to write!

Gosh......

I had wanted to report on my HUGE progress with my studio...
and although that is mostly true,

it has still come to a standstill.

Truth is, I lost my momentum in the heat...

and in the words of Dolly Parton's father....

I was trying to fit

"10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound sack"
  
(you have no idea how much I love those words)

So, although I wanted to show you a beautiful picture of my perfectly organized studio....

I can't 

(yet)

However, what I've done to remedy this is to sign yet another lease.....
for additional space to store my overflow.  

More and steady sorting is set to be done...starting August 1st.

In the mean time I still don't have a clear table to work on.

And I've also been looking for a little place of my own, 
(so I don't have to rent so much storage space!)

all the while tying up the long loose ends of a lengthy ordeal...

AND I'm happy to say I'm

enjoying my 

Summer...



walking, swimming, bike riding, reading, contemplating, planning lots of travel

and



stitching....

getting closer to finishing the last panel of a long project...

I'm counting on LOTS of ends being tied up by the end of summer!
