Hello! How are you doing today? Me, I’m doing great. I can’t complain except for the rain but earth is coming alive again and our world needs the water so when the sun comes out again more of everything will POP!
Rain’s art theme today is diagonal. That’s a tough one but after going through my old sketches I came up with some that works and then I created a new one.
You can’t get away from a line taking an angle. I’m not sure how Rain comes up with such creative ideas for her art date weekly themes but she rocks! I look for opportunities to use word prompts a new song or one that’s even a good fit. The closest I come with diagonal is line and so I came upon Poets of the Fall with Where Do We Draw the Line.
This week’s Thankful Thursday I’m thankful for signs of spring. We were out over the weekend. In our area I spied cherry daffodils, pink tree blossoms, flowering magnolia trees, and forsythias. The joys of the earth in visual form fills my soul with goodness. I’m thankful to have completed 8 of my 26 sketches and am having lots of fun drawing. I’m very thankful to have this pastime in my life because art gives me purpose. I love the sense of accomplishment with each illustration I create.
Because it’s almost spring and I’m busy doing what I love, draw, I feel I’m On Top of the World (Imagine Dragons).
I’m winding things up today with Kat’s Writing Workshop. Today, I’m going to share with you what we would do if we were forced out of our house and what we would look for in our next place.
Sometimes I wish we were in a situation were we had to move into a new place like yesterday but I know that wouldn’t be fun and it could result in bad decisions. I’m going to run with this prompt because I really do hope we can move in a new house before this year ends.
What would we look for in our next place? At a bare minimum we need a place slightly bigger than our current home with four bedrooms, three full baths, and a 2-car garage on half an acre or more. A single level with a basement or attic or both for additional storage is ideal for our next home. The floor plan doesn’t have to be fancy. In fact, I prefer a simple layout. No carpet, real hardwood or engineered hardwood is the way to go. We are allergy sufferers so this would be a great improvement I think of our overall health. We’d look for a place that is relatively low maintenance – all brick exterior for instance with little or no painting needed. We’d love to have a screened in porch or sun room to enjoy time entertaining family and friends on. Let’s not forget a level lot. No hilly driveway and plenty of space to park multiple cars. It’s such a nightmare for us now. There’s no reason to expect that we’d ever be forced from this home since the mortgage is clear but relocation because of work is another story and one we’ve had to deal with in the past. Although, we’re more open to that sort of change now, our heart and roots are deeply tied to east Tennessee. Rocky Top (Dolly Parton) you’ll always be home sweet home! 😉 And, it’s the perfect Throwback Thursday tune to share with Mary at JingleJangleJungle.
