Enchanted and Bedazzled

Do you remember last year when I told you about the bear den web cam for Lily and her cub Hope? Well, it's that time again! Lily and her one-year-old cub, Hope, have moved into a den together and a few days ago Lily gave birth to at least two more tiny cubs. 

I have this link bookmarked and whenever I remember, I check on them for a couple of minutes. Often nothing is happening, but yesterday I was lucky and got to see one of the little newborn cubs. Utterly enchanting! Click here to go to the live webcam and here to go to a collection of videos that are just wonderful!

Then this morning I had a great surprise. I had finished this painting when it was gray and overcast outside here. But this morning, the sun came out and I was totally bedazzled by the sparkle on my painting when I came into the living room. The photo does not even come close, but it gives you an idea.
I have so much to share with you that I have to sit down today and make a list. Otherwise I'll forget. There is knitting, felting, cooking, baking, more art, and my favorite magazine to name just a few things that are on my mind. Plus I just love lists, so any excuse to make one is welcome...

Wishing you an amazing Wednesday!!
