Another sunny Sunday morning and here I am, trying to figure out words to create this post with. Because of my art, there is always something for a photo, but what I should say or tell, well.... If I lived an exciting life, I'm sure it would flow out easily, but I don't think I do. I live a good life and a mostly content life, but it doesn't take exciting things to make me feel content. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy exciting things, I can, I just don't seem to pursue exciting. I'm not sure if that would fall in a good or bad catagory....LOL... I don't think I'll try to figure it out....but anyway....
Through the days, sometimes I hear something or see something and it causes me to jot something down. Unfortunately, not in a book that I can just flip through, but mostly on random papers or whatever was handy wherever I was. Random stuff really and however they fit or sounded interesting in whatever mood I was in at the time. Sometimes I see something I wrote down and I wonder why.... what kind of mood was I in and why did it mean something then.
I realize if I don't know the answer to that, nobody does. LOL
One thing was "Only dead fish go with the flow" ..I don't know if that was from someone else's post or a youtube or...no telling, but it was funny to me then and is still kind of funny to me now.
Spiders... I don't like them. I mean, they are fine as long as I can't see them. They love my front porch, up the corner wall, across the bottom of the front window, from the window ledge to my flowers and once in a while, from the post at the top of the steps, from one side to the other and occasionally I fail to see that one and next thing you know, there is spider web in my hair.... UGH....I am constantly taking them down or whisking them away, like a haunted house, only in the daylight.
I knew you'd want to know that.
One of the papers had the beginnings of a poem almost writing itself. It was not finished, just a first draft idea. I don't know how long I've had that scrap. I don't know what I was thinking or what caused me to write this part down.
Out for a stroll on a sunny day along a wooded path
Lickering a lollipop
Thinking about a perfect world
And a Poem that did not rhyme
Where lying was a crime
And people were nice all the time
Then it skipped and said "a hole?.... "water thrown in 4 times a day till you mended your wicked ways" ha ha What tha heck was going on in my brain on that part???
Then there was another separate part that said "Do some people drive themselves crazy on purpose - just to get away?
Then there is this snippet: "Would I be a happier if I lived on a street with a different name - a house with a different view? Ocean.... lake.... mountain"
Was that random enough for you? 🤣
The center piece below and the one on the right I finished last night. I only started them in the last night or two.
The one on the right that's sitting in the night with a nod to the stars on the side.
The center one that stole the clovers that had been sitting for consideration on another unfinished piece. Now what will happen to the other one? That story has not been written yet. I like that the clovers look like they are sitting in a pocket.
The one on the left was in a pile of other unfinished pieces that I came across and surprised myself when I saw it as I had forgotten about it. It was all there except for the two bird'ish pieces , just waiting for them to fly in. Now it is done too.
Before long, I will be getting dressed and will head out to Mom's for a visit. This time, she has cooked lunch. She got hungry for meatloaf and sent me an email to see if I liked meatloaf and told me she was making one for lunch today. It made me make a funny face as I sat here and read it, because I took meatloaf out there a couple of weeks ago for lunch. You know I am not saying that because I mind having meatloaf again, but ..... of course I like it. .....has she forgotten that we had it not so long ago?.... anyway, when I responded back and offered things I had that might go with it I could bring, she then responded that she had creamed potatoes and green beans already and that if I wanted something additional, I could bring it. SO!... I didn't have to provide a single thing today. I suppose I should have thought up some sort of homemade dessert to take out..... but I didn't.
I hope you are having a good weekend and that your heart is happy.
