When I’m out and about, I’m constantly drawing people and faces. Not actually on paper or a device, but in my head, in my imagination.
Sometimes nature makes faces for me ~ like this hardware on a fence.
Here are some more wonderful faces I found around the neighborhood. . .

I’ve been up since 4:00 a.m. It’s so darn early, and still dark! I’m trying to maintain as much of my exercise and yoga routine as I can…but I need as many daylight hours as possible to work on our house renovations.
During the day, I’m wall-to-wall busy with house stuff, so I’m working at night on my computer (tedious) and my art (fun). It’s quiet now and I can concentrate. But I’m a morning person. Working at night is tough for me.

Anyone who’s made changes on their home for maintenance, fixing, repairing, refreshing, cleaning out, sprucing up, any of those sorts of things knows all about the disruption it causes to daily routines. Especially when tradesmen are hired to complete various projects within a tight schedule and a limited budget. It’s a horrible process while going through it, but very rewarding when it’s done.

Fill your tummy with deliciousness.
Fill your heart with gratefulness.
Maybe the best you can do today is find a smidgen of something that’s going right in your life. Perhaps you’ll notice one little thing of beauty that brings you a moment of pleasure. Maybe you have an abundance of amazing good luck, no worries, no strife, and it’s easy to find good things all around you.
Whichever describes you best - maybe a combination of both - Thanksgiving is a perfect day for appreciation and gratitude.
And, of course, eat a lot of pie.
This is a letter of gratitude. But also a letter of apology.
For most of my art career, I’ve struggled to achieve what is commonly known as a work/life balance.
Creating my own website was a huge learning curve and a complex, time-consuming art project for me. I’m happy to say I achieved that goal, and here it is – my website! But, working on this website took up all of my spare/free time.
So, I’m sorry to say that I failed miserably at coming anywhere close to a work/life balance.

When I was putting a soaker hose around the cedar tree this morning, a red throated hummingbird hovered close to me, then perched on a twig about six feet away from me.
He sat there for at least 45 seconds, maybe a full minute. He extended his tongue, and I got a really good look at it. We just had a moment together.
I am beyond tired today. I’m crabby, and my neck is killing me, so seeing him helped lift my spirits.
Hummingbird, you are my gift today. Thank you.
