Newly posted to FB… am not digging being sucked back into that btw … it’s just been convenient for the art stuff.
I’m noticing some annoying habits with the app returning though so some further adjustments may have to be made 🤓

So Mother’s Day here was lovely 🥰
Quiet like I prefer, with perfect, (unusual but exactly right for me) gifties.
Started at 9am yesterday when the oldest appeared on my little porch with a sweet orchid. Fingers crossed I can get in the habit of misting it 🙃
And ended around 9am this morning when the middle one (who’s currently away at college - couple, three hours drive) woke me up, gift bag in hand - it was …. drumroll….
Rocks!
(See my post from last week with the basket of rocks picture if this seems strange - I was soooo excited that she brought them 😍)
Ironically, one of the bags is actually glass nuggets that look like they could be rocks.
I say ironic ‘cause that’s exactly what I used to make jewelry out of, and double ironic when you see the little dot mandala piece I made last night (gonna post it separately I think).
The more things change, the more they just don’t sometimes 😂
Hubs had the most practical gift of all - I had to remind him a bunch ‘cause this is really what I wanted - mundane as it it.
10 bags of garden soil for the win 🥳 (his Power View will like that 😊 - <- HD stuff)
Even managed to fit in some yummy food. That’s always a bonus for this taste taste gal (<- also HD reference) - and the shrimp was cooked p-e-r-f-c-t-l-y … been experiencing a rash of tough overcooked shrimp lately… this was heavenly.
Remains to be seen whether I paint any today - been splitting my time between that and getting plants planted, keeping the new stuff watered and noticing that there’s been some ‘overdo-ing’ happening.
Easy when it’s stuff I enjoy, but still not especially wise. I noticed yesterday it was 12 hours later, for example, before I stopped 🤦🏻♀️ 9am - 9pm.
Felt on the brink of sumthin’ Fri/Sat … managed to fend it off with rest and whatnot.
Have 15 more plants to get into the ground or a pot. Now that garden soil is here, I think that might claim the day … soon as it cools.
Atm we’re having a Siesta in the shade 🤗
So, painting may have to wait, but I have been varnishing - and that’s pretty sweet. Will have to see how it photographs.
Das what’s up today … what’s cooking in your day/ days lately?
