An explanation


I suppose I should tell you that I created a book about Weather Bugs years ago. That's where the blog name comes from. I now have note cards with the Bugs on them. The book was fun to do, watercoloring on the kitchen table with 7 little faces craning to see what the Bugs would do next. I named them...Abigail, Clyde, Jane and Lyle. They wander through life,dealing with the weather...jogging in the fog, running in the sun.

Then...years later, my children asked where the book was. I had lost it! (Shows you what my housekeeping abilities are, eh?) Anyway, via the internet the seven kids helped me remember the adventures of the Bugs...and the book was reborn.

This is a sample page from the book, "In Spring you'll often find us on the wing."

Sooo... I took the book over to a local printer and had copies made for each of my children and their children. That led me into watercolors ...and oh, boy! There's a lot to learn.
