It’s been a busy weekend of finishing up a couple of albums and some invitation pieces. We made it outside for brief errands, but mostly tried to stay in the A/C, since it was about 90 degrees and somewhere close to 100% humidity for most of the weekend. There were a few amazing thunderstorms and, all in all, it was pretty conducive to a whole lot of productivity on my part!

Journal and album covers ready to go!

So, there will be lots of new albums and journals soon…more pictures as things are done! In the meantime, I’m off to enjoy the remaining few precious minutes of my Sunday evening before this nicely shortened holiday week begins!

Another of Donald Justice’s beautiful American Sketches:

Crossing Kansas by Train
By Donald Justice

The telephone poles
Have been holding their
Arms out
A long time now
To birds
That will not
Settle there
But pass with
Strange cawings
Westward to
Where dark trees
Gather about a
Water hole this
Is Kansas the
Mountains start here
Just behind
The closed eyes
Of a farmer’s
Sons asleep
In their work clothes
