A.M – Call from Art & Vi for Mother’s Day-
Richters over to bring a gift for B – (a coffee warmer, very nice) – Peggy’s birthday too, she brought over her presents to show us-
Out for a stroll before noon – the wild flower garden is in full glory still- the trilliums as large or larger than any I have found in the woods-
A good chicken dinner- Call from Sally.
Out several times in the afternoon – a visit to the studio got out the bluebird picture- it definitely seems now that the blue bird should be fantastic, not realistic – I saw several other changes to make. Saw a catbird.
