hi friends! It's been a while since I blogged. I thought I could be more consistent, but apparently not, lol! Do you find that the longer it takes to update your blog, the harder it becomes? I feel like I need to post something interesting and witty, and I'm just not feeling like I have anything interesting to say.
Although I regularly check out my favorite blogs, I haven't been commenting as much as usual. This is simply because I'm trying not to be on my computer too much. I can't stay away from reading blogs though, lol! I find it very relaxing, and I'm always interesting in finding out what my wonderful blogging friends are up to.
After a lousy spring, once July hit, we got lots of sunny and very hot weather. I couldn't be happier! so most days, after work, are spent in the garden, or reading a book. I finished a wonderful novel called 'Sarah's key' which was recommended to me, and just found out it is coming out as a movie.
My latest novel is a classic: Jane Austen's 'Persuasion'. I've seen the BBC movie, and thought it was time to read the book. Boy, it sure is a difficult book. I find I really have to concentrate to understand the language.
Not much is happening with art, maybe I just needed a bit of a break from it. I'm still painting little owl ACEOs, but not as many as during the cooler seasons.
I've been wanting to do a post about one of my other interests: perfume, but haven't sat down to write it out yet. I am a perfume addict, which is something none of you know about me, lol! It started when I was very young, and has continued on and off all these years. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I will do a fun post where I just 'chat' about perfume, and of course welcome all of your thoughts on it. Since this blog is not just about art, it's about other fun things, why not spice it up a bit?
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer (or winter for my friends in the Southern Hemisphere).
***a quick question, is anyone finding my blog takes too long to load? if so can you let me know, I may have to remove some things...I've noticed some blogs taking a while to load up and it can get frustrating waiting for it. xoxo

Your blog loads fast for me. If your removing things you could maybe set up pages, and add those things to the pages then just have the links to the pages in your side bar.
Yes, Stacy is right, very nice new background!
Glad to see you in blogland again Betty.

hello,
i did not notice your blog taking a long time to load. i find the blogs that have music or huge images take forever and slow every thing down, i agree frustrating.
i remember having a perfume making kit when i was a wee gal. it was so much fun to mix scents.now I love to mix essential oils and experience their influence. I look forward to what you share with us.
so glad you are enjoying your summer days.
i have the saame issue with blogging....argh
Such sweet owl. I know what you mean.. for me if I don't write blog test for month it gets more difficult to write.
Take care
Niina
