Crunchy Granola

Crunchy Granola

This granola recipe is a favorite of mine, and my Summerhill students always seem to enjoy it when they’re here, so I thought I’d pass it along. Since granola tends to be high-calorie, I usually use it as a condiment and sprinkle it on top of fresh fruit and yogurt for a delicious breakfast.This morning […]

Summer Blooms

Gallery Still Life

The reception area cornice features contrasting banding in an interwoven pattern. Since the lining side […]

Finding myself with seven hours of empty time on my hands while Fred chauffeured me to vacationland, I started sketching in the van. Since the scenery was moving by […]

Plein Air Painting

Plein Air Painting

We’re meeting every Sunday afternoon at different locations in our area, and it’s a great excuse for me to go and spend […]
