The Early Bird

Didn't get the worm...this time.

But the little guy and I got up super early today, at his insistence, and went to the gym before 6am. While I'm an early riser, I tend to poke about rather than get 'er goin'. And he's the kid who will sleep till noon given the chance. But up we got and off we went and we had such a great time in that big old almost empty gym. 

And by 5pm the kid and I were both taking a nap.

Me: "Do you want to do it again?"

Little guy: "I dunno."

Thinking we'll stick to our evening workouts and let the rest of you be the early birds.

Here's my third piece inspired by Joan Miró.

Happy

So I figure I've got a pretty darn happy marriage when pretty much the biggest thing we fight about is jelly. Yes, jelly.

You see, this past weekend I rediscovered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This is something that occurs about every five years or so. And, by golly, last weekend when I had folks here all day both days for WEST I was all in for a quick bite. But...I wound up eating the last bit of Dave's precious grape jelly.


Dave: "You ate all my jelly!"

Me: "Your jelly? I bought it."

Dave: "It's my jelly."

Me: "I'll buy more."


And now we have two jars of grape jelly. Perhaps I'll mark them "his" and "hers".


Here's my second piece inspired by Joan Miró. Tomorrow I'll create one inspired by him and less "just like" his. Today's and yesterday's pieces were warm-ups for tomorrow's.

A Following

It's the most delightful thing. Every day I go outside with our chickens, and every day they tag along right behind me. Now I know they're ever so hopeful that I'm about to spread yummies all about. A good guess as I do do that sometimes. But I still like to pretend that it's just that they love me so and want to be wherever I am. Love my feathered ladies!

And this painting is inspired by Joan Miró. I'm taking another online painting class, one that I'd registered for before I was incredibly lucky enough to have won that last online class. I'm super excited to keep learning and being challenged.
