magic



 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

after the rain last week

 mushrooms popped up

like magic

one night was clear and

I got to see a

beautiful meteor cross the sky

then the eclipse

with the eerie light

and shadows

things I won't forget

 

I finished my goldilocks painting

and have started

my peter pan

I also got my yarn

in the mail

and started a summer harmony blanket

using the pattern and yarn packet created

by Lucy at Attic24

oh the colors! and it's like

a puzzle to put together

which makes it

even more interesting

and fun

 

loving

thunderstorms

reading harry potter again

walking

no sugar cravings

feta cheese

cherries

 

 

 

here & now

 



 

 



 







 



 





 

 

 

 

 



 



 

 

Loving // the mornings spent outside with the singing birds,

wind in the trees, cicadas calling, sun rising and blue skies.

Eating // peanut butter and banana on whole grain bread,

sprinkled with granola and drizzled

with honey.

Drinking // those yummy orange slushies from

McDonalds

Feeling //  a little concerned about our world as

a whole

Making //  just finished a couple of Artist Trading Cards for a swap

on lifebook but still

have another one to go. Also finished my owls

which i'm really happy with.

Thinking //   about going on a sugar detox

Dreaming // of going to the Gulf Coast this fall

I spent a lot of

my off time

outside

the weather was wonderful

no humidity

is a good thing

though my dogs have

been concerned about it

 

I'm still working on my little mermaid

painting

and getting more and more

behind on my weekly

classes

I try to fit them in

like the journal pages above

it's so nice to just

write, draw and paint

imperfectly

 

loving

coffee outside

building fires

 cicadas singing in the trees

creating with the kids at work

checking things off my to do list

long drives in the white car

Gilmore Girls

reading

 

 

 



good things

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 a little bit of art  lots of reading,

lots of eating  coffee always

sitting outside listening

to the birds

shopping and new yarn

dogs in my lap

working and walking

these are the good things
