Saturday was cool and rainy- at least it was at my house. I took Buddy to the vet to have his nails clipped and found out he has actually lost four and a half pounds since his last visit (six months or thereabouts) and now weighs in at a hefty 80.5 pounds. According to the chart hanging over the scale, Buddy is considered 'overweight' because his ribs and flank are not visible. With this weight loss he still overweight, but less overweight than he was. After the vet I got my hair cut and because it was still raining I decided to drive over to Mount Vernon for the Lincoln Highway Arts Festival. They closed off part of Main Street and several artists set up tents with their creations. Everything from photography and paintings to jewelery and pottery. I stopped by the tent of a friend- I believe I have mentioned her and her blog http://creativegeniusart.blogspot.com/. Her stuff is amazing- everything from painted windows to wooden signs to gift tags. I found a window that I instantly fell in love with:

It's pretty heavy and I had to have Art help me hang it because he's a man and can find studs and has things like wood screws and lag nuts. The last thing I wanted was for the window to come crashing down on our heads while watching TV.

I absolutely love it and even Art said it looked really great and was complimented by the yellow walls!
