me at the lake in ontario
It's a sunny day today so I moved the cat out of the sunbeam on the bed this morning and soaked it up myself. The presence of the sun is such a cheerer. I'm about to walk the dog ~ my car's in the shop getting some work done (these winter roads!) so I'm car-less for the morning. Later I need to work on some framing and matting of pieces for the show opening in just over 3 weeks. The kitchen starts getting renovated on Monday ~ finally getting butcher-block counters! (& new floor & new cupboards) And I think Tim and I, and dogs of course, will be taking a road trip soon down to Florida to do some camping. I grew up down there so it feels like home to me.
That's the speed of my life right now, rather busy and pithy. I found this photo above of myself hanging out by the lake in the 80's amongst the loosestrife plumes, barefoot and breezy. I can't wait to do something like that soon. (looks like I definitely need a pair of purple corduroys.)

That photo is wonderful! And sweet! It gives me immediately a happy summer feeling :)
I love the photo! Where in Florida did you grow up? I grew up in Miami before leaving for college.
Claudia ~ thanks :)
Keia ~ I grew up in Venice, on the Gulf Coast (Sarasota County.) We moved when I was 11 and I hadn't been back till Tim and I drove down in spring of '09 to revisit. All that spanish moss! And we saw gators; I had missed the gators and all the wildlife.
That is such a friendly looking rock and you look most at home in the middle of nature :~) Some things never leave us thankfully.
Oooo, Brooke, I have butcher-block envy!....and YES! to purple corduroys :~)))
Helen ~ you always put things so perfectly. I am so appreciative of being outdoors; I can't wait till things warm up a little bit and I can get back into my garden too! How's yours doing?
Wow, so you lived on the west coast near New College. I went to visit the campus once and it was right on the water. I love all the pelicans that live on the west side too. My grandparents live in Tarpon Springs.
Ah...funny you should ask that :~) We were out working in ours on Thursday. It was raining, but we dressed for that...we couldn't wait any longer! A lot of stuff got tidied up and a bed dug over in readiness - YAY. Oh! Also, the cauliflower plants I planted in the greenhouse in the Autumn are finally starting to grow :~))) Peas will be planted very soon ~
Thank you for asking and I hope you get to be up close and personal with your garden very soon too. Have a lovely Sunday x x
Keia ~ Yes, the pelicans are beautiful to watch. It's funny but I don't know the area as an adult, only remember the things I did as a kid, (Myakka River State Park, the jetty at Venice beach) so don't know New College. :) Do you ever get down to visit your grandparents?
Helen ~ Oh, sounds so perfect! I miss getting my hands dirty, and smelling the warming earth and checking on sprouts. Soon...enjoy your Sunday too. :)
So glad you'll be able to go camping soon. A nice break from snow and cold.
