The Bucks head back to Boston with the series even at 2-2 after the Celtics win a bruising Game 4
In what has been a knock-down, drag-out second-round series in the NBA playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks missed a chance to put the Boston Celtics in a stranglehold.
Jayson Tatum and Al Horford each scored 30 points and both made big plays down the stretch as the Celtics earned a bruising 116-108 victory in Game 4 Monday night at Fiserv Forum.
Boston’s victory evened the best-of-seven matchup at 2-2. Game 5 is Wednesday night at TD Garden in Boston.
Steve Watson writes, “This morning (May 8) on my daily walk, I spotted a bald eagle out on Trippe Lake watching a pair of swans. After a short time the eagle flew off hungry and no swans were harmed.”
Our thanks to Steve Watson for sharing another interesting nature photo.

This quilt, Color to Lift the Spirit, was made by Whitewater’s Mary Taft Althaus. It was entered in the Quilt Week Show of the American Quilters Society which was held in Paducah, Kentucky, April 27-30. The beautiful piece was the Honorable Mention winner in the stationary machine quilted large quilt category. The award winners may be viewed on this website.
Mary Althaus said, “When I began quilt-making in the late 1980’s, I used traditional patterns and fabrics. In the early 2000’s, I began using reproduction 1800 patterns and fabrics. I joined other quilters via the Internet in discussion groups. Groups are geared towards style, fabric, a quilt designer, a fabric designer, or a specific quilt pattern to name a few. In the last few years, I have drifted towards the brighter fabrics, using Electric Quilt for design, and Inklingo to print sewing and cutting lines on fabric using my laptop and home printer.”

Editor’s Note: The following was provided by Roberta’s Art Gallery at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
All are invite to dive deeper into their own psyche: soul, mind, and spirit, at Roberta’s Art Gallery, in the “PSYCHE” exhibit by Liala Amin, running through May 4 – May 27. Amin’s pieces in the exhibit consist of paintings of intricate details, exploring themes of personal identity, spirituality, and femininity.
“And Dream Of…” By Liala Amin
Amin graduated from the Peck School of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fibers, and is currently back in school pursuing her Bachelor of Arts in Art Therapy at Alverno College. Amin is experienced in multiple disciplines of art: mixed media paintings, drawings, and textiles, with painting being her preferred medium. Amin is fascinated and pulls inspiration from female Surrealist artists, and the concept of Surrealist autonomism: a method of curation where the artist allows the unconscious mind to take the lead in the creative process.
“The Guide” By Liala Amin
Amin’s “PSYCHE” exhibit features work done by using mixed media, with most of her pieces consisting of watercolor and acrylic paint to fuel the creative process. Most pieces in the exhibit feature a face, a silhouette, or other figures, surrounded by different beautiful watercolor strokes, challenging the viewer to investigate their own psyche.
To learn more about Amin, her art, and experiences, visit her website.
