I invited some friends out to the cabin for a picnic on the 4th of July. And of course, I invited their dogs.Lincoln, Jed, Dixie and I picked some wild flowers for arrangements to have to greet our friends upon their arrival.
The welcoming committee led people to the yard.

Lincoln decided a cool spot was under the table. I think he really hung out under there to get whatever food might drop from above. 
Jed found that scratching his back on the grass was fun.

Lucy and Suzie liked the pond.

Ordo had the BEST time. He went for his first swim in the pond after Jenn showed him how to get into the water. I think he loved it. It was a fun afternoon even though it was hot. The dogs really enjoyed running with new friends. 
Dixie found a spot on the sofa after everyone left and stayed there for the rest of the evening.

Yesterday I spend a delightful afternoon at Prince Michel Winery north of Madison, Virginia participating in a Quick Draw to benefit SAFE, Services to Abused Families, Inc. About 20 artists came together to either demonstrate their medium or compete in the Quick Draw competition.
Luckily, the event was held inside since the weather was so unbearably hot.
We had just one hour to paint a work of art that we donated to the live auction that was held to benefit SAFE. The audience was particularly kind to me and I was designated “Crowd Favorite” both by the numbers observing and my painting earning the highest auction bid.
I had a terrific time painting and meeting some new artists from the Madison area. And many thanks to my friend and fellow painter Linda Kusior who came to support me and for taking most of the photos here.
