We drove the motorhome to North Hero, VT (near Burlington) to deliver a commission piece Rich did. Nora, young Nora, and Kieran met us in Williston for a delicious lunch and then they went shopping. We arrived at a beautiful waterfront home on Lake Champlain and waited on the deck for Jane to get home from work.
She was thrilled with the 2’ x 3’ river landscape Rich painted in watercolor.
This river is in Newcomb, NY where her family had a place just down the river. Jane is a nurse who used to work for Maryanne Waters from Colchester that we delivered a piece to a couple of weeks ago. She led us downstairs to see her Adirondack room which was just remodeled. WOW!
Then we took the ferry over to New York and drove down to Glens Falls to park in Nora’s driveway so Rich could get early morning bloodwork done for next week’s Dr. appointment.

Had Lynn and Zippy Zerbato over for a pool day to catch up on current events in the cool of the pool.
Lily is patiently waiting for her milk.
Chillin’ in the shade on these hot, humid days.
A trip to High Lawn Farm at 11am to beat the crowd for a scoop of Purple Cow on top of Lemon Meringue!

Farmers’ Market in Lee - every Saturday we have been setting up shop in the park in Lee with enough positive response to keep doing it, but not enough to make us jump for joy. I keep saying, “If he had a nickel for every comment about how beautiful his work is, he’d be richy Rich!” Ha!
Zachary’s 15” catch - caught in Hop Brook behind the Post Office in Tryingham.
Music in Lilac Park - on Wednesdays, there is music at Lilac Park in Lenox which is the scene of our first in person meet up! “Happy Together” was the name of the band on this night when we went with Dee Shep for a taste of music and beverage. So happy to see Pat & Goody there💕
In the Berkshires - Rich created a new collection and this poster illustrates most of the scenes, but not all. We did very well at the Church Craft Fair thanks to admirers and good friends - you know who you are! The scenes are mostly from Tyringham where my daughter lives. We will have to take some photo opp rides further into the Berkshires for his material.
YoYo Ma and Emanuel Ax at Tanglewood - though we are nearing the end of the season for Tanglewood, the crowds come in earnest to see these idyllic masters.

Jacob Ryder Clark becomes a teenager - this young man has entered the teenage land of Oz. He is a handsome dude - smart, jokester, funny, talented, thinker, debater, polite, and athletic. I love him dearly💕
With Rich’s help, I created this Treasure Box featuring his favorite things to do: football, basketball, rope swinging and skiing.
