Random pieces of paper

I have absolutely no idea why, but for some reason I just love tearing up random pieces of paper in various colors and shapes and gluing them to my journal pages. There is no explanation for it. I just enjoy it. So there you have it.

 

Random Pieces

Rose hips

Good afternoon! It's a sunless Sunday, but enjoying it just the same. Got a few things done today and talked to my parents, paid some bills and scanned and printed pictures of my grandkids for my office, organized the garage a bit so we may actually have room for 2 cars now in our 3 car garage. Last weekend was much nicer weather and my husband took the time to water our trees and bushes since they are all new and can use a little help with this dry winter we are having. I took the opportunity to take a few pics for you. Here are what I believe to be rose hips - at least that is what I've told they are called. In any case, I think they are incredibly beautiful - and I was glad to see we have some rose bushes in the side yard to enjoy this summer.

Leaves on the wet sidwalk - Cottonwood leaves of course.

I'm going to go for a short walk now and then home for a relaxing glass of wine.  Enjoy your week!

Tomorrow is Saturday and I have to work. I would so rather be doing anything with my husband or anything in my studio (which of course is not actually functioning at the moment for much of anything except a bit of journaling). I know where my pastels are, but can't get to my paper. The easel is handy but no surface to lay out the pastels. If I were not working, we could probably get my working space set up tomorrow. I'll buck up.

I will be able to go out to breakfast with my love at least - our Saturday ritual. I hope it is a beautiful day.

Last couple weeks my spare time has been spent getting our rental house ready to rent and moving my shelves over to the new house. Everything is so time consuming.

This post sounds very negative for some reason, but I don't feel that is appropriate to my mood. I feel great and am happy despite the hours I've been working. I do love my job and am glad of that.

No pics today - hopefully soon.

The neighbor just came home and when they opened the garage door, there was a dog standing there barking and wagging like crazy. Funny thing - he just stood there right in front of the car and didn't move until the absolutely last moment. Strange.

Good night all!
