My birthday DISCOUNT and a holiday

Lock in 10% off and receive 3 illustration mini-prints

For my birthday (tomorrow), you can use this link to lock in a 10% discount on paid subscriptions now through August 1. Once applied, the discount lasts forever. Happy Memorial Day to those in the U.S., and hope you’re all doing well.

New subscribers will also receive three of my art mini-prints in the mail. They are on nice paper and frame really well. Subscribers receive invites to draw-togethers, art and art sales tips, and the chance to participate in a job application support group.

As temperatures warm in the northern hemisphere, are you feeling influenced to get outside? Here, the dry air feels light on the skin. It’s easier to exercise each day, as I’ve mentioned.

This morning around 11 a.m. the temperature was 73, cool and dry. Walked by a creek within a mile of here; it is surrounded by a park where folks from the neighborhood walk their dogs, and makes a nice third place.

Temperatures are creeping up and the sun is more direct as we move into what I’ll call early summer. At the moment, that means not exercising at high noon.

Sign in the neighborhood; I assume it’s a reaction to the selling off by the federal government of some of Utah’s public lands. Nice to see.

This area is surrounded by high-elevation canyons, but it also feels nice to walk near home. Here are blueberry bushes by a short urban planned trail a couple miles of here. Strawberry plants make up the ground cover. I’ve seen them used that way in the Pacific Northwest; happy that parks and public spaces are using them here now too.
