Clausen in the Hausen & out in the Garden: Sometimes you just have to brag...

Congratulations to my beauty on her latest achievement...

National Honor Society.

Way to go Tall!!

This blog that blog the other blog... but who am I???

I am a painter, blessed to be a wife to a fabulous guy & a mommy to 6 lovely kiddos (C-24, M-16, M-16, E-14, T-12, W-11) and we have our tiny one in heaven. I am my Beloveds and He is mine. I love to paint "en plein air" - French for "in open air" I enjoy painting outside and "alla prima" like the French Impressionists did. When I can I enjoy cooking really good food. Our family tries to eat clean and live frugally. My kids have always loved their vegetables and fruits. I have liked "digging in the dirt" as long as I can remember and get that itch every spring, summer, fall and again about mid-winter.

I keep a veggie garden of raised beds, earthboxes and various containers. I also tend small blackberry, raspberry and blueberry patches plus a little herb garden. I also keep a meyer lemon and a lime tree. Plus now I have assorted Chickens too!

I really want my own sunroom/greenhouse ... plus a little fruit tree grove with fabulous flowers everywhere! ~ wait, did I mention the potting shed and grape arbor? :) Then, in my spring/summer & fall free time, I will sit outside and paint the beauty of it all! :) In the winter I want to be able to sit in the sunroom/greenhouse and paint the views from there!
