Our Maine home is a small cabin directly on a small lake. The quiet and peace is so different from our home on the edges of Washington, DC that the change is startling at first. But soon I settle into it and feel like a different person. The lack of distractions energizes me and I find it easy to focus on painting or sewing or beading and I spend a great deal of time working on various projects. We have been here less than two weeks and I have finished one large painting and three small ones. The more I work, the more I want to do. I had better sign off and get to work!
