Beautiful Richmond Virginia
These are just some pictures that I took while walking to my car after the Humanities Conference at Virginia Commonwealth University. Isn’t it beautiful?! I love that Virginia is a Commonwealth!
Rain rain rain and more rain
I started painting the deck weeks ago. Last Tuesday, I mopped half of it with paint, so it would dry and I could paint the other half during the weekend. Yep. It’s been 9 days and it has rained everyday. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. But despite the cloudsContinue reading “Rain rain rain and more rain”
