My sister Barb & her husband Tim arrived Saturday at noon with a lovely router table Tim had made for Jeff.  Although they were only here for 22 hours or so, the visit felt deliciously full and complete.  A rainy afternoon meant we spent most of it inside, except for a dog-walk. Barb and I always have so much to talk about, and I enjoy her company.  We pushed the huge glass coffee table out of the way in the living room and did some yoga together.

The evening dried out and the light was luminous.  We took them out for dinner at The Precinct, a first for me.  We don't eat out very often, so this was a treat for all.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was truly a great meal. 

After their departure this morning, I showed up for the plein air painting session in Eden Park.  I worked for two and a half hours in the magnolia trees...they seem to be in bloom all over Cincinnati right now.  I'm hopeful this painting will work, but my afterthoughts of it are that it is too sweet...I'll have to spend some time on it in the studio this week.  (Have been working on the painting from last weekend, but still not finished with it)

Jeff & I bought a rose bush to plant in honor of Whit's 27th birthday.  Another difficult day, but not as hard as the anniversary of his death.  At least that is my perception.
