Making meaning

~ Liz A ~ 24 Comments

I’ve been reading Katherine May’s Enchantment and Sharon Blackie’s If Women Rose Rooted and an archeological book on Rock Art and Ritual …

All by way of learning more about cup-and-ring marks and other rock art in the British Isles …

while making my own meaning out of the marks I am stitching (meantime trying to unsee the dots as Girl Scout badges 😉) …

I do love making up stories … as I did with Moon Myth …

which Don and I, aka NanaPopPop, read to Parker’s Kindergarten class this morning …

As the latest of the weekly Mystery Readers, we sent clues to be read to the students each day so they could try to guess who was coming. I can’t imagine how Parker figured out it was going to be us …

A wonder-full day

Friday night portended a wonder-full day to come when the universe gifted us with a show of mammatus clouds following a thunderstorm …

Besides which, how can you go wrong when the calendar says it’s International Dance Day?

Sure enough, on Saturday there was baseball, where we got to cheer G getting a double and a triple … then cheered some more as he pitched the last inning, striking out two and catching a pop-up fly to win the game …

And while we didn’t go with the girls to see Disney on Ice, we got to see pictures of them with friends…

along with the latest pictures from St Louis …

Fortunately, we did get to go back to our old stomping grounds at the Wimberley Art Fest …

where we couldn’t resist this painting by Jack Krietzburg, which has already found a place on the wall (note: click to see entire images) …

Older works come with reduced price tags 😉

as well as this one by Dana Brock, which is destined to be a birthday present for Ellis on her 4th birthday in August …

Even the edges …
are cool

All topped off with an early supper at Hays City Store, which we hadn’t been to since before Covid …

And yes, that fried chicken was every bit as good as it looks … thankfully some things haven’t changed.
