Spring is in the air

Today I have the day off because I'll be going in for my cardiac CT scan. I'm a bit on the nervous side so I could use all the good thoughts you can send my way.

 We've had more good weather days than bad lately. Of course there is rain mixed in but it's not the cold and threatening to snow kind of weather.

One morning on my way to work, I was stopped at a red light and couldn't help taking pictures of these trees.



I'm also seeing more green on the trees. It just makes my heart happy to see things like this.

I do things backwards.

 Most people would buy a table runner to go on their coffee table. I bought a coffee table to put my table runner on. I ordered an inexpensive coffee table from Amazon so that I had something to put that table runner on in the Ann cave that Amanda bought me for my birthday. 

It came on Wednesday April 8th. It sat unopened until the next Friday. That night I put it together and let me just say I hate putting furniture together. All was good until the last screw that just would not go in for anything.

It was together though so I grabbed the table runner. Gibbs approved.


The Ann cave isn't real big and I thought the coffee table took up too much room

So Saturday I made the decision to move all the furniture around. In my younger years I could have done this in an hour or so. These days it's an all day project because it requires plenty of breaks. And of course my hip was screaming at me the whole time wanting to know what in the world I was thinking doing work like this.

In the end I liked this set up better and Gibbs again gave his approval.

To continue or not

 As you saw yesterday, I've been doing the daily drawings for more than 2 1/2 years. I've filled 7 sketch books and just started the 8th. I'm trying to decide if I want to continue after I fill this last sketch book that I have.


I could fill this last one and then call it quits. Or I could purchase more and keep on going. At this point, I really don't know which I want to do.


Sandra at MadSnapper N Beau said that if I enjoy doing it keep going and if not the stop. So I guess I just wait till I'm close to filling up this last sketch book and then decide whether or not to buy more.
