It’s been crazy here
Between taking care of my “grandpugs” and seeing my son off to Thailand…and trying to get some work done…and keeping the dogs from killing my cats….
My nerves are seriously frazzled and I’m POSITIVE I’ve earned a day at the Four Season’s Spa. Maybe two. And possibly even three.
I’ve taken myself off the computer for a week and have been enjoying using real paint. I’ve started a series of work inspired by my Costa Rican vacation and am immersed in pattern and color! It feels so good to be painting again, it’s cathartic and is getting me through all this craziness in my life right now. That, and the wonderfulness of home grown tomatos, which mean BLTs for diner about 3 times a week. There’s just something sentimental and comforting about BLT’s. I can imagine my mom in her kitchen and recall the smell of coming into the farm house for lunch. I can picture it in my head like it was yesterday.
I hope you’re enjoying these last days of summer. I’m also finding time each day to go outside and feel the warm sun on my skin. Air conditioning is great, but sometimes just “sweating it out” feels really good, you know what I mean?
Have yourself a BLT and enjoy the weekend, friends.

BLT’s are my absolute favorite and I’ve already been eating them with our home grown tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes add a flavor like nothing else.
Look forward to one day seeing what your Costarican adventure inspired! And yes! I completely understand about sometimes needing to just be in the warm air, even if it does mean sweating it out a little
Sometimes I feel the need to “thaw out” from the AC myself and head for the back porch with my sketch pad whenever I can manage to get away from the #@$%^%$# computer….
