Blue Skies Smiling At Me

Today it’s been a gorgeous spring day

Inspiring spring weather
Spent some time out in the garden
Weeding
Pruning
Planting seeds
Transplanting seedlings
Getting ready for the summer growth
Spied these and smiled

Looking forward to munching on some apricots
Yumma-dumma-ding-dong!!
Dave took the girls up to ‘the grassy spot’ to kick a ball or 4
While I finished off around the garden
And tonight Megan cooked dinner
Chicken and salad
Simple
But she enjoyed having the kitchen to herself
And felt in charge of it all…
While she did that I took the time to finish off this

Inspired by the new Kraft It Up Challenge, using a sketch.
For the life of me I couldn’t remember the name of the beach we were at, in the photo,
and Google couldn’t help so I just wrote

Wish Google maps were more helpful lol

Revisited 2 old techniques, some fluttering butterflies and masking tape (under the paint)

and tried something new, for me, no journaling

The rubons, and title, helped to say it all :)
And sometimes it’s what you don’t say that speaks clearer and louder :)
