TGIF

I have a really hard time not letting you know that it is Friday. Friday is so huge for me.

Have you guessed that I haven't actually painted anything for a while?

I plan to.
The rain gods are expected this weekend, I think.

I always take that as my permission to paint. Guilt free.

I have been trying real hard to balance my gardens with my art.

I think I have tipped the scale a little as I have been in the yard three evenings this week after five. Making progress.

I saw my first humming bird yesterday. This morning before leaving I put the feeder out. I always wonder if it is the same one from last year. How do they know that I will have that feeder hanging there for them?

I have noticed some changes that have happened to me. Now, I'm wondering when this happened. I'm wondering if it was gradual or all of a sudden. For example, boy you should see my sock drawer. It looks more like a tornado hit than like my neat little rows of perfectly sorted, color coded, folded, stacked socks. When I discovered this, I stood in stark amazement. The amazement was that my heart didn't start beating faster and I wasn't compelled to fix it.

I just shut the drawer and ran quickly to see if the same thing had happened in my pantie drawer. Yes, there it was. Panties in a pile. Quickly check the towels. NOOOOO, not the towels too.

The towels were good. I knew if the towels were not perfectly folded and stacked I was in deep trouble. I got to tell you though when I went to the kitchen I happened to notice that there were forks mixed with the spoons and large spoons mixed with soup spoons. I just took a breath and shut the drawer and wondered when this happened.

Enough for now,
Sharon

  5. Oh Sharon...you just have Spring fever! Who cares what the inside of your drawers look like? Just go with the flow and get back to painting! We are missing you. And no challenge for us this weekend?

  6. Well, so long as you remember to put your drawers ON every morning....you should not worry at all....you are just changing priorities. Outside with the birds and garden should always win. Love the little birdie in your hand. They grow so fast!!!!

  9. I'm not worried about your drawers... but I keep thinking about the space under your bed. Is it still sparkling and waiting for visitors to look under? :-) Hope you found some time to paint...

  12. Hi, I thought I was reading my own post...I am so pleased my towels in the cupboard are staying nice and rolled & stacked in colour order....and I am keeping to my plan to stay neat & orderly, it actually allows me a sense of peace and freedom to settle with my artwork somehow?...
    Thanks for sharing, I'm not alone...spooky...
