Back on September 7, 2024 I took a photo of Steve Zarate performing live at the Athens Farmers Market. Over the last few days I’ve been rendering a freehand, digital image of that reference photo on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil and the Sketch Club app with a tweak or two in iColorama. Steve’s music complements the fresh and funky feel of the Market.


11 years here (wherever here is)!
Emaline at the Cannabis Museum
That’s Emaline Duquette, and what a pleasure it was to hear her soulful voice at a Tiny Museum Concert at the Cannabis Museum the other night.

National Peach Tree Dish Day
Night Time at Hidden Drive Hollow
Annyth took a nighttime photo of our new place at “Hidden Drive Hollow” that I loved so much that I thought I’d sketch it out on my iPad. Why that name? Well, as you approach our place on this county road from both directions, there are yellow signs that say, “Hidden Drive.” So, Hidden Drive Hollow, all 1.83 acres of it.
I don’t want to boast, but we had a bidet installed in the primary bath.

No Idea…(but does Guzzell’s Hardware ring a bell?)
I have no idea what this image means, a bird flying while carrying a suitcase with a Blue Eagle Guitars sticker on it? But I do know this, that some people of a certain age from Canonsburg, PA would easily “get” the Blue Eagle Guitar Shop based on their experience at Guzzell’s Hardware Store. If Stanley Guzzell catered to Western Pennsylvanian musicians, his shop would be like Blue Eagle Guitars. Everybody knows places like this. They’re not neat. If it’s not there, you really didn’t need it.
