    Hi Carol,
    So far so good. This is my second try to comment. The first time I could not get in but you may have been working on your comment section.

    You have such a wide range of talents. Each piece spoke to me in a different way this week. Thank you!

    Your flower painting is lovely, and I love Cape Ann. It's about an hour from me, and I also love Manchester by the Sea.

    Your photographs are wonderful, makes me want to take a dry to the seaside.
