Day One - Into the Unkown



February 19, 2007 (the day after my birthday)

Today I finally bit the bullet and started the latest learning adventure of my new business ... blogging. Seems like a fitting way to weave my love of journaling into this venture.
Looking out the window where the recent nor'easter snowfall graces the bases of the forest, I can see the outline of the pond where Jeni and Ryan used to catch frogs. In a little over a month, Jenica will be graduating with her Masters in Environmental Education from Western Washington University ; in May, Ryan gets his Bachelor's degree from Earlham College.
My current custom piece is coming alive in a wonderful fashion. The autumn scene is a vibrant contrast to the different values of white that the snow reveals and the browns and greys that define the tree trunks.
