Fast Pop In

Gosh, after being sick, I had planned on posting on my blog regularly, but as they say, "the best laid plans...."

I have not been on the computer much the last week, my muse is still on vaca and the weather has become very hot and humid - which means my studio area is like an oven.

In the evenings I have been doing some web exploring and
searching for inspiration. Have found some and will start throwing up some short posts, as some of you may be inspired too

Hope to be back on a regular posting basis soon....however I must say it is kind of nice to take a break from the computer! LOL

Wishing everyone a wonderfully fantastic weekend!

Just Down the Road...

....from our house is this storm drain reservoir area. This stretch of road used to be all farmers' fields, however over the last couple of years, a couple of subdivisions have gone in (yuck). Since a storm drain area was needed, the town planners decided to appropriate quite a large parcel of land, so that once you are walking here, amidst the natural foliage, you can almost forget that suburbia has encroached on this little corner of my world. The sounds of bullfrogs that shelter amongst the bullrushes, the
calls of a large variety of birds, and the rustle of leaves and plants in the breeze is perfect when I want to get away from it all for
a short time - but not travel very far. This natural (and man-made) oasis is within walking distance.

Once home, sitting on the front porch this evening, we had a visitor. Cute as can be.

Things are kind of crazy at the moment and I feel like I have ignored my blog. Today I decided I was going to take a break and just BREATHE, and I'm so glad I did!
