April 1st is no fool.
Today, most of this country would agree spring is here to stay. The flowers are about three weeks ahead of schedule down this way. We have officially finished the first quarter of the year!
It is a day where one must be careful of what gossip you are quick to spread because the pranksters are out in full force—I already see that a favorite quilt site is ‘no longer selling fabric’ and Lowe’s has figured out to permeate the house with the smell of bacon, without actually cooking….
But I digress. For me, it is an easy 1/4 way point to check in on how things are progressing with my WORD of the year, “MOTION” and all those pesky resolution-type things.
MOTION –Yesterday, Arlie and I participated in the Monument Ave. 10K… We walked with a few spurts of running. Our times were 1:39:55 and 1:40:11 respectively. Timmy was supposed to join but he had to work 
I woke up today with no real pain—a bit of stiffness—other than blisters on the second toe of each foot, and sore toenails. Yes, I said toenails. Definitely proud of our accomplishment and I look forward to doing it again!
I have finished the first two items on the CEO Challenge at my not so-LQS, Quilting Adventures—
2×4– need to take a shot of this totally quilted but no one else is awake to hold it…
Spinning Plates
(I would say the next one is easy, it requires so little…but…. there IS a reason it ended up on the UFO pile, right?)
The idea to be creative every day has actually not been terribly hard, if you allow for lack of photographic proof on a daily basis, and have a VERY elastic understanding of CREATIVE!
These are some of the more obvious creative days I’ve had this month.

The Decisive Moment
in March’s Photo Show at PRAC, in Petersburg, VA. I won Honorable Mention! See more New York City photography.
Ok, so there. I did accomplish something.
However, Yesterdays don’t count anymore and all that. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, etc etc.
I didn’t make much progress on the cleaning/decluttering/organization stuff. BOORRRRRRIING….
I am focused this next few months on Photography. I have three events coming up. Two show and sales–
The Heart of Virginia on May 5th, and the Fort Clifton Festival on the following weekend, the 12 and13 of May. (Can’t find a better link…this is an issue….)
Then, in June, I am having a photo exhibit down at PRAC and still have to settle on what I’m showing!!
(can’t you see the cleaning/organizing/decluttering being pushed away, AGAIN!!??)
