Staying Home

Walks in the backyard reveal signs of spring.





Painting continues to be a relaxing activity for me.


Rachel Ashwell has been sharing video posts on Instagram.
She mentioned a poem in one of her books. So having that book I looked it up and decided to do an art journal page.




My last canvas got what else but an angel.


I want to praise nurses serving others in this virus crisis. On a recent night I lit this symbolic candle that belonged to my mother. She was an RN and knew the demands of that profession.


I must believe this pandemic will end soon.

I sincerely hope staying home and social distancing are helping to stop the spread of this coronavirus. 

Have a safe and peaceful Thursday.

Filling in the Blanks

Amazing how days turn into weeks, and then even more amazing is how an entire month has become history. This  journey called Life moves on at a fast pace with seasonal changes marking time. Several hours have been spent in the _________(garden).  The first blooms of spring always prove exciting.













Yesterday was a beautiful day for my drive to Jackson for a scheduled luncheon date with two friends from college. Every time I take this route I am reminded of how young I was when I first drove my pale blue Falcon to Lambuth College. Those were the __________(days)

Alice and I
See the magazine picture on the bulletin board...that's the one I had framed.
We were really into travel posters back then. Don't know what happened to them.


Back to the present. After lunch at Rafferty's and coffee at Carriage House Antiques we had to go our separate ways. I visited Yarbro's Antiques by myself before heading homeward.


Two purchases ended up in my art space... a tiered display stand and a sugar mold. Because one vendor was closing up her booth at Yarbro's I was able to get the stand. It didn't take me long to fill it up with supplies. 




I've been looking at sugar molds for a long time. They are versatile pieces. For now mine is serving as a holder for art brushes.


I spent some of ______(todayorganizing paints, sharpening colored pencils, and rearranging odds and ends in the studio.






Well, I did create this blog post. Maybe tomorrow art. I've enjoyed filling you in on my days. Hope your days are filling up in ways you enjoy.  Talk again soon.

Warm month...warm thoughts

Hello. It is like summertime. Way too warm for the middle of March. However, it's nice to be outside with no need for a jacket. Our yard received its first mowing this week. Potted plants got some attention from my clippers. Happy to see new growth from last summer's vinca and spike plants.

I'm fond of this Victorian greeting card with its inside sentiment.


    

Spring by Frederick Walker

Daffodils are the happy flowers of spring and are seen in lots of places now.
Our yard has a few patches. There are abandoned ones on the roadside.  There are clusters around trees. There are rows and rows  of them. Daffodils are such a welcome sign of spring.


I've been making a few magnets over in the studio since I've sold down the number I had at the booth.

  

Visits to my mother are frequent but are becoming sadder and sadder. I hate what Alzheimer's has taken from her.


I remind myself to cherish this time with her even though my real true Mom is already gone. But her smile and voice are precious to me. We end every visit  with a hug and a kiss and the words "I love you."

Ah, Spring





Yellow, pink, lavender, and green! Oh, boy, color is returning to our yard and field. What a spirit-lifter!

Oh, Spring!




Today's post requires few, if any, words.
Oh, what a lovely spring day!
Do you see the long-legged curvy miss
raising her arms up in celebration of the season?
