Today marked
the last day of school for two of our grandsons. Each year, their school celebrates the end of the year with a Shakespeare Festival, and it is quite the event. At 3rd
and 1st grade, the boys continually astound us with their ability to
memorize and deliver complicated stories and sonnets with confidence and the appropriate inflexion! The
performances are followed by a medieval fair in the “meadow” across the street.
Even though it’s a piece of city-owned land adjacent to a freeway wall, for
this fair, it is transformed into a magical place of music, face painting,
juggling, maypole dancing, archery contests, dunking tanks and food trucks. And
so begins . . . summer vacation! Yay!
And once
again, I’m captured by llamas – this time it’s a special herd belonging to
friends in the area. The painting, Reflecting on Llamas, 8”x10” on 300
lb. watercolor paper, features a wonderful group (including a new baby cria) enjoying the warmth of spring
sunshine.
