Beanstalk Play and Market Girl

With the temperature and humidity high in New Jersey, is it any wonder that I am posting an indoor activity for Summer Stock? In the first scene of Jack and the Beanstalk at Middlesex County College Theater Camp, the mother looks for Jack and Jill.

market girl
My daughter is playing a market girl. She did well in the tryouts, so she may get a bigger role in an upcoming play. As her mom, I try not get my hopes or her hopes up too high.

giant
My favorite character was the giant. My daughter said one of the teen counselors played the giant, who is tall in real life, too.

If you are in central New Jersey, you can see the play The Little Mermaid next Friday, July 29. On Friday August 5 the camp will put on Willy Wonka. Tickets are $3/person and showtimes are 9:30 am and 11:00 am.

Facade Revision – Spot the Change

changed from previous drawing of rooftops
Can you spot the change from this roof to this new one that I am posting today? And I don’t mean the background color.

I decided I prefer drawing the old-fashioned way – with paper and pencil and paints. But I will probably plod along with this scheme of roofs until I get to the fun part, which will be adding color and texture and variety.

I hope you will come back tomorrow – I plan to post an interview with a relationships coach. Stay tuned.

Macro of the Giant Peach

OK, it’s a regular-sized peach, but I liked the title.

Uncle Sam and Baby Robin

Uncle Sam at the Highland Park Street Fair
Way back in May I took this photo of Uncle Sam at the Highland Park Street Fair. The fair always seems to announce, summer is coming, summer is coming.

My daughter and I enjoyed roaming Raritan Avenue and taking in all the many booths. As you can see from her pink sweater, it wasn’t exactly summer weather.

baby robin
The highlight of my summer thus far is the nest of robins growing on our front porch. Here’s a shot of a baby from last week. This week the robins already have many feathers and don’t seem as scared as they did earlier.
