Monday, May 30th, was my birthday. My dad bought me a Wacom Bamboo Tablet, which I've been playing with ever since. It came with Corel Painter and Photoshop Elements, both of which I am unfamiliar with. Right now I'm making pixel dolls with MS Paint, just to see what I can do with the most basic program I own.

The garden is coming up great, not that I'm suprised. It's been raining most nights here in Western New York. Right now the flowerbeds are just one burst of color and it will be even better when the jasmine and roses start to bloom.

Outdoors right now looks like a technocolored Alice in Wonderland Wizard of Oz fairytale land.  Everything is so bright and saturated in color that it is difficult not to be happy. The weather is perfect for fluttery dresses, and I have baby geese schedualed to come around June 6th, which means I get to love them up, and give them ribbons.
