Marti's on Main...

More of the same.  Rain predicted, but so far....nothing.

There are a gazillion clematis blossoms on the porch of Gary's barn 

 getting ready to pop...

 and iris in several gardens.

 At 10:30 Phoebe

 Little Wonder and I went out to the air conditioned Studio

 to give a watercolor lesson to Carina and Clara.

We had a great time learning the basics.

 Could there be a sweeter child?

 Going back outside was like a reality check.

 At 5:45 I picked up Brenda and we drove out to Marti's on Main

for the First Friday opening (my art students).

We entered through the back yard, that was loaded with these

deep purple clematis blossoms.

 On the porch....gorgeous peonies.

 Kim always offers a table full of snacks,drinks and hospitality.

 We all went upstairs to check out her personal gallery and studio.

I felt like I was at Artisan Works in Rochester.

 Where else would you find a boot nailed to a tree?

 I got back to the farm before sunset.

Night all.
