I just finished a major house rearranging/decluttering this week. What a relief! I stopped counting the number of trash bags I took to the dump or left by the curb. 30, maybe? And that's not including the 2 dozen bags of clothes and odds-n-ends I donated to charity. Or the line of old furniture I left … Continue reading Red Truck

Painting 11

A quick study in rock formations and dappled morning light. How fortunate am I to live near such natural beauty?
I love you, Morning!
The following chart popped up on my Facebook page this week. It's probably circulated through the web by now, but I thought I'd share anyway. The timeliness is a little freaky, as I just committed to turning my daily routine on its head. Again. For years I've been trying to force myself to stay up … Continue reading I love you, Morning!
