Making bread



Almost every Saturday mom makes bread, and so Ava now thinks it is a Grandma tradition. When she came over this weekend she asked to make something with flour, so we made monkey bread.

It is rapidly becoming fall and our sunflowers are still growing. Ava planted them with Grandma and when they put in the seeds she patted the earth and said, "Grow, Grow, Grow." And they did.

Brandi had a beautiful baby boy and Mom and I went up to tend Elsa while they were in the hospital. It was a whirlwind trip, since I had to finish my final landscape for my class IN THE CAR. As a matter of fact, I painted almost the entire thing, except for a few finishing touches in a six hour drive on the bumpy freeway. UDOT needs to make a smoother ride for we crazy artists.
