Thank you guys.
I'm designing a ring for the opal I got a couple years ago in Tucson.
That's always a fun thing to do. And, going out for a dinner later.

Thanks again!

I hope you had an absolutely stupendous birthday! And excited to see the opal ring

Thanks Mr. Trick. Oh, the opal ring. I'm all over the map with ideas.
Total simplicity to completely over the top.
Over the top of the top is my usual design preference, but occasionally an understated idea seems wiser.

Thanks Greg and Steve!
I actually had a very nice day.

I set up a drawing room, in the house. I'm going to tackle botanical drawing.

And, my cat was fixated on a branch outside my bedroom window, on top of the eyebrow pergola I just finished for my wisteria. After a series of squints I noticed a bird's nest had been recently built (within the day actually) to accommodate a pair mourning doves, I noticed hanging about the yard for the last few days.

Where's a branch? We want to see! Nothing better than some window tv.

My birdwatchers, Caspurr Milquetoast & JellyBean.
Your K's are adorable, by the way.

I think my bird watching team (me included) have made the mourning doves do a runner.
