Lupine Time & Moonbat Baking Co.

 Annual Lupine sketch time, out my back door! 

Each year my image is different! 

(see lupine  blog posts in June, 2017 & June, 2016.)

Minute to minute the lupines transform in appearance.

Above, just before the bright Eastern sun hit this morning,

just before they went from soft misty blue-lavenders

to warmer golden tones, 

not as distinguished from their surrounding greens.

My seasonal work hours at the museum have increased 

so when I had a free Friday I reveled in it,

sketching at the Farmer's Market & then,

out the window 

of the locally celebrated bakery, 

Moonbat City Baking Co. 

The pastries & coffee, divine, & the happy atmosphere~Wow!

I overheard more than once,

"It doesn't get any better than this!"

The owner Michelle sets the tone greeting customers 

VERY enthusiastically, 

the chartreuse walls & the light from windows lift spirits.

 The café is small, 

but it welcomes lively visits & conversations,

& folks at tables doing their own thing with computers 

or, in my case, bien sûr, 

with my sketchbook.
