Last night we ate our first lettuce from Joe's garden. The lettuce was so tender and sweet. Joe had planted a french mix of lettuce. (That's what the package said) He has had some troubles with the Robins eating his carrot seed and the weather is so crazy. This morning it was 38 degrees. I have a couple of art projects going but nothing done. I am working on a Town little album. It was started by others with very few pages, I am adding on to flesh the album out. I found an old music album cover to use as the cover of the book. It is a cover for Mexican music and it has a giant sun on it. I am also working on my ATC's for my group swap this month and the theme is Boys of Summer. I am using a similar design to one I saw in a September/Oct. 2007 "Cloth*Paper*Scissors" magazine swap of recipe cards. I am making a Willie Mays ATC. I used to watch him play every Wednesday on ladies day at Candlestick Park when I was a kid. My mom loved baseball and the park was pretty close to where I grew up. We had our bag of peanuts and some water and spent the day in the sun by third base. Then I married a baseball player. I sat through many summer days and nights watching my husband play fast-pitch softball. He was always a fabulous ball player and he has many trophies to show it. I also tried to play softball when I was 27 years old and it was a disaster. I rounded up my friends, started a team and joined a league. I could run and throw great, I just couldn't hit the ball with people watching me. I really suffered the summer I was on that team. I used to hear my friends in the dugout talking about how they dreaded me getting up to bat, funny thing was, I was the one that started a team so we could have some fun. LOL... A little 'B ball" and summer lettuce brings back fond memories.
