STAY HOME! Stay safe!

It saddens me to think  they've had to resort to closing down the local beaches. So many people out and about! STAY HOME!
A friend on fb asked for posts that would put a smile on faces. So i went out to my garden and took pictures of what makes me smile. 
These rocks are a few I painted a while back. The sun was out that day so together i sure did smile.

I'm still doing some watercolour painting. Trying a few different ideas. I follow #creationsceecee on youtube. Her work is amazing and she is such an inspiration.
I really enjoyed these butterflies so i plan on doing more.

Gotta run now...time to get dinner going. I hope yo be back later...so stay tuned in. ..till then....Enjoy.

back again

Another day another post.
I am finally feeling better. This bronchitis has broken up and a lot less coughing.
The Island Queen by Julia Older krpt me busy these kadt few days and i must ssy a really good read. Who knew that Mrs. Thaxter (Celia) was carrying on an affair with John Greenleaf Whittier! Wow...and the murder on Appldore Island. Shocking!
Now to continue reading Ninety Years at the Isles of Shoals, Oscar Laighton.
Yesterday my intention was to bake a maple walnut cake. However after going through the list of ingredients that was not going to happen. On my next venture out to Hannaford i'll get them but instead made a batch of oatneal raisin walnut cookies.  Yum
 My current art fascination is with watercolour. I've been watching tutotials on YouTube. Here is my current work in progress. Butterflies and doodles.
I've slso been posting dome of my work on Instagram. 
Enjoy!  A Bientot

give it another try

I hope to get this blog started once again. Just brewed a cup of my favorite tea  (this week that is). Now to get started.
I feel like all of you do very nervous about this covid19 and being overly cautious. I've washed my hands about a 100 times. But i have a question for you....if you have to pee and blow your nose when should you wash your hands? Before and after? 
So i am maintaining my sanity by doing some reading...This was a gift from my favorite "Roomie ". A novel about Celia Thaxter set against the wonderful Isles of Shoals. Good read.
Going to leave you here so i can determine if this will work.
Later.

Hearts all around with lots of LOVE.

Happy Day to you all! I'm a bit late with these wishes.... hope your day was sweet. Hubby still not up and about much so when I was out ...
