After a strangely cold and rainy start it looks like we are getting a glimpse of summer. The past few days have been in the 80's so I replaced the pump in the air conditioner. (In dry areas evaporative or "swamp" coolers are ofter used.) Now, according to the Weatherbug, it will be cool(high of 72 degrees and damp) That is very unusual for this part of the country. The farmers are actually complaining about having too much rain! Needless to say, the weeds are taking over and I can't get the mower to start. The last time it took to repairman a year and a half to get here.
So much to do, so little motivation. Knowledge of small engine repair would help.

It's Over!
It's official. I have gotten through another semester of college. I say that like it was really bad and I'm glad to be through but I have mixed emotions about the end of the semester. I am tired and there are so many things that need my attention here but I am really going to miss the structure and friends. While I am at school I can work without worrying about the weeds in the yard or laundry. It's my time to do what I love. I have asked other artist how they make time for their work. One said she writes it down. I think I may need to work on that.
Last night I went out with Jerry and Tom (to be referred to as "the guys") for dinner and then to Slaton for several Tech student's art shows. The main reason we were there was to see the work of Joel Kiser, the boyfriend of a friend from South Plains. Lacey and I were the ones who stayed at the school late and taught ourselves the throw pottery on a wheel. Joel has accepted a position in the grad program at TCU and Lacey will be going to TWU in the Fall. Anyway, Joel's work was great. He draws, paints and does sculpture. There was some very impressive work. At another building there was pottery that was good.
On the other hand.....I hope some of those students have other career options.

I can't believe it's May.
I started this blog with the idea of using it as a journal; a cheap, impersonal sounding board for the ebb and flow of daily life. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I have not had the time or energy to keep up with this. As I have posted on my emails "In life's Sea of Insanity I'm treading water"
After May 10th I will have put another semester of college behind me. Okay, maybe not. I still have unfinished business and I am hoping that I will me able to continue things in the Fall.
