the daisies are here

on the sides of the road

filling the fields

oh how i love them!

i know they don't smell very good

but they are sooooo

pretty

yellow and white

on a long green stem

i love to pick a big bunch of them

and put them in a jar

 

i finally finished my

praying girl

and i'm happy with her

then i started the painting above

when i added the solid color

around her

i loved it

and didn't want to do anything else 

to her

so i left her as is

 

i'm loving having my coffee outside, sitting and working

in my artroom (that is partially clean YAY)

puppies in my lap, baby geese, mushrooms sprouting up, seeing a  bald eagle in the field  

 and being able to walk 10,000 steps

a day.

another week has already passed by

Easter has come and gone

summer is going to

be here before we know it

and i will be painting

pretty girls

it's really fun to see them

emerge

painting with no real plans

is different for me

and I truly enjoy it

 

i'm loving the wildflowers, yummy smoothies,

parties at work,

how strong my legs are getting,

and my fitbit that reminds me

to move

 

not loving the pollen

choking my husband

and turning my car yellow



 



glad to be alive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've had quite a week!

excitement in the form of escaped cows

and a near death experience

five white cows escaped their pastures and were on

the highway

three police cars with lights going

a four wheeler and a man shaking

a feed sack trying to herd them

back home

I couldn't resist sitting out on my

porch to watch

finally the man with the feed sack

got them all to cross the road

and they headed my way

as the cows went past I sat very still

so I wouldn't spook them

I didn't think they would even notice me

but every white head turned and looked me right in the

eye as they passed

I won't forget the look on their faces

fear, threat, RUN!

and run they did!

the man with the feed sack apologized as he

walked by

little did he know he made my day

 

now for the other event

I was sitting at the table

finishing my lunch as I worked on my budget

I had it all worked out

and took a deep breath

as I did I sucked a little bit of food into my

windpipe

and thought "crap"

I started coughing of course

then noticed I could hardly breathe

ok now panic sets in

cause I'm alone

I cough, I run outside, I run back inside,

still choking I figure I better

grab my phone

and text my husband

I run back outside and cough really hard

the food shoots out of my mouth

thank goodness

so I call my husband who comes running from next door

and that was my near death experience

I swore I would never eat again

but I did

 

glad to be alive

i'm loving the goldfinch at my feeders, watching the hummingbirds

fight for their territory, making some progress on my art room, sleeping late, watching my seedlings grow, and Netflix.

we've had a week of weird weather here. one day it's cool and the next it's hot. then come the storms and it's cool again.

today is a cool day with

clear blue skies.

flowers are filling up the shops and i'm

ready to plant some myself.

i started zinnias and morning glory's from

seeds. they are growing fast.

i've been trying to cut down on sugar

but i'm not doing very well.

i've been craving Krispie Kreme donuts

and gave in to that yesterday.

i found Brach caramels earlier this week and had to get them

because I haven't seen them in years. then that cute cherry candy I just couldn't resist. I haven't been able to eat that cause it's so cute.

i'm loving walking every day and getting stronger, the warm bubbly therapy pool, seeing hummingbirds back,

playing pokemon on my brand new game boy (i know it's embarrassing),

drawing and painting, and watching Netflix.
