Random Thoughts on the real Columbus Day

1. There is a strange thing about my daily paintings of fruit. Have you noticed that all of the fruits begin with the letter “P”? This is truly peculiar. Peculiar P Paintings: pomegranate, persimmon, pumpkin, pear, pepper, plum, peach. It is true that I haven’t shown you all of these in this particular series, but it is something I have puzzled and pondered.

2. Columbus Day is my birthday. Just sayin’. The real Columbus Day, not the fakey convenient Monday closest to October 12 for the purpose of making my birthday cards late and banks closed. I’m sort of old now, so not supposed to notice. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Careen, Nicole, Norman, Kim, Kenny Wing, Reggie and Regina Powers, and any other birthday twin who shares this date with me, past or present in my life.

3. Hey Carol, if you are reading this, I hope you made me some soap!

4. Remember I am working on a HUGE project, as of yet mostly unrevealed? Have a look at another portion of it:

5. I love to draw. 😎

6. I might want to live at Hearst Castle. Barring that, I’d settle for Cayucos.

  1. Happy Birthday a day late, Jana! Hope you had a wonderful day. Love the peek you gave us of your big project. Will look forward to seeing more!

    • Thank you, Cheryl! It was a nice day – a blend of work, bike riding, and visiting my local yarn store. And the bridge entries will continue until the snow flies or the bridge is finished – whichever comes first!

  2. Thank you, Sara! Life is a balancing act, and today I will balance work and exercise by doing my errands on my bicycle. (Not what I love best, but pretty far up on the list.)

  3. Happy happy birthday! Like Columbus, I hope you spent it doing what you love best.
