weekend in review

On Saturday, we attended Madison's 17th Annual Winter Ar Festival at Monona Terrace. We bought some cool stuff like a native american alphabet poster, rug (from our best friend Serena), dragon note cards (from Charlotte Fung Miller, who used to show at the Hales Corners Library), wrought iron hooks, wooden spoons, etc. Really liked the Arkansas Buffalo painting (based on an ancient petroglyph) by Geri Schrab. Saw Hales Corners painter Constance Pelzek (acrylic and metal leaf). Briefly spoke with Green Bay painter Andy Van Schyndle about web sites and blogs. We bid on a few items at the silent auction, but did not get any of them. We saw a deer and several wild turkeys on the way home.

Sunday's big project was burning brush in the outdoor fireplace, one handful at a time. Also watered, mulched, and protected (by spraying with liquid fence) the new trees & shrubs.
