Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple lavender and yellow sunflowers.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This painting would look best in a space that is yellow, orange, blue, white, or beige.

Near Quebec City, in the St. Lawrence River, is the Île d'Orléans.  We spend the day parallel to the coast on Chemin Royal stopping at roadside markets, colonial markets, and wineries.   Seeing where my ancestors settled after leaving France in the 1600s.  We ended the day in Sainte-Pétronille with art galleries, coffee, and chocolate.  Just relaxing and enjoying the view.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, light blue, light purple, beige, or wood.

Blog To the Future!

QUICK!  To the DeLorean!

Emmett "Doc" Brown, Marty McFly, and a Hover Board in 2015.  GREAT SCOTT!

 Scout makes a good Hover Board even if she was very gassy at the Halloween party.  Someone must have found some cheese on the kitchen floor...

Thanks Megan and Scout for making my dream of 26 years come true!

HAPPY SCOUT-IVERSARY!

 Can't believe we've had Scout for two years already.  And how cold it's getting already too. We're all wearing our coats at Corbett's Glen.

No Salmon?!?!   

Previous Scout-iversarys!
