I sharpened a lot of pencils and smiled the whole time during today’s Art Club. I had so much fun…and the children did too judging from the level of happy noise. The quiet has settled in now, so it must be time for cleanin’ up and headin’ home. Art Circle meets tonight. I sorta love it on those rare times that Thursday arrives with a double dose of art. *happy sigh*

One cuppa coffee down.
One to go.
Today either calls for a nap or mid-afternoon pot o’joe.
I’ll just have to wait and see what my draggin’ butt a.k.a. dragon butt needs most.

Blessings to you.

A winter storm is forecast for today. The sky is keeping us guessing with dark, gray clouds hanging low on the right side of the highway, and blue sky peeking through a bit on the left. Hoping blue sky wins (always), but that wind is blowing something fierce. Time will tell. For the moment, moving onward, heading North.

I didn’t take long to decide that today was goin’ to be a hang-outside-your-son’s-second-story-bedroom-window-to-take-a-picture-of-the-pink-cloud-sunrise kind of day. *serene smile and happy sigh* Good morning!

I remembered to feed the dog today without a reminder from Nebraska.
Blue returned the favor by actually walkin’ on our early mornin’ walk today.
The moon was aloof and hidin’ but the stars were twinklin’ in a clouded black, still dark as night, sky.

subtle colors
quiet in tone
this morning’s sun rose
in shades of peach
warming to gold
with the palest of blue
mmmmmmm
oh, so lovely
a soothing balm
much needed
for this hurting heart
today

pink clouds in the sunrise
followed by a golden hue
blue sky fillin’ in
as the colorful clouds
fade to white

pink clouds in the sunrise
it’s going to be a good day
they always make me smile
that’s how I know
‘cause here I stand
under morning’s glow
smiling up at the sky
and sighing happy sighs
because of the pink cloud sunrise
and perhaps a few things more
smiling serenely to myself
and sighing happy sighs galore

My favorite part of today’s Art Club, with 16 students in 3rd-5th grade, was hearing one girl say on her way out the door, “I wish Art Club could be every week.” Today they drew continuous line self portraits with a black felt tip marker. No erasing was possible. Then they added color with washable Crayola markers. I made one too. *happy sigh* Now it’s time to store their artwork in a portfolio, clean up the scattered supplies, move tables and chairs, and finally head home. ~ Janean
