No News Is . . No News . . Is Good News

I'm taking a break from news. And from almost anything that might contain news. I haven't looked at NYT, Google's summary, or The New Yorker in more than a month. Anger, over analysis, and scolding had shoved information aside. Facebook king of the heap in that regard. So, how about more pictures from what we are doing?

Ellen has been painting at The Stone House located a short distance from where we are staying. This property is managed by a man Ellen met earlier in our visit. He and his wife have a farm not far from this location. And knowing this couple has been a great facilitator of connection to the local community; they are well known and well liked. 

We have hit only a few of the high spots in our month in Hot Springs. It's a good central location for much of the area, while being just enough out of the way to avoid issues of crowding and traffic. I was considering the plant to people ratio. Sure a lot of green giving off oxygen for healthy living. 

Ellen has been looking at green with her artist's eye. It's very different from Florida green.
