Saturday at the Farmer's Market

I wish I had taken a picture, but I didn't. I took my boys for a walk to the Farmer's Market on Saturday, and there was a woman standing there in full bridal attire. At first I thought it was a manakin, as her face was painted entirely white, and she was standing perfectly still. It was startling. A little bit creepy, too. I kind of attempted to ask her a question, and all she did was blink. I wanted to just stand there and admire the "statue," but I felt too self-conscious to stick around. She had a box at her feet with some cash thrown in and a sign above it reading "thank you." I didn't throw in any cash; I had so little, and was there to buy tomato starts. But, it was pretty impressive; especially as it was quite warm and sunny that day.

The most brilliant artist I know

My fourth semester in college, I got a new roommate named Ginger. I feel lucky to have been able to spend those four months as her roommate. We got along well and had some good times. But most of all, she is an exceptionally brilliant artist and writer, and I want to see her get published! And rich and famous! Because she deserves it.

You can check out some of her art for yourself at the following link:

If you think her art is brilliant as I do, pass it on! Talent like this should not go unrecognized.

Haha, now I'm acting like it's my job to find her a personal agent or something....
