I'm trying to get back into drawing.  I've never worked with watercolors much before so have a ways to go, but I'm liking it so far.

We're trying cushaw squash, which is supposed to make good pie.  We've got at least seven that are huge so they better be good.

We went to an exposition at the airport for the local college today and the blimp was there. We were able to walk right up to it, under, and all around it.  It moved in the wind (it was rather windy today), swiveling about 180 degrees along the front of the base truck.  It was quite interesting.  They had a lot of other types of planes too, from a glider to a World War II troop carrier.
