On Saturday, June 24, the annual Midnight Sun Run, a 10K race, also starting at 10:00PM! Having 24 hours of daylight sure feels good and it is a welcome change after our shorter days of winter.
These events have been part of our community celebrations for decades and the Summer Solstice also marks the last full day of daylight before things reverse and we begin loosing five to seven minutes of daylight, continuing until Winter Solstice, on December 21, whe ..read more

My first blog post! I am so excited to share my first blog post with you, celebrating the launch of my new artful website and business, Pamela Sue Art & Designs. And, in case you missed the quote on the home page of my new website, I have listed it below - it is from one of my mentors.

This quote is from a wise and kind mentor, and I fully align with her statement to "Create [and bring into the world] the beauty you want to see in the world."
Aligning with these quotes, and looking toward the future, I am excited for the o ..read more
