For most of the day, a rainy day with little light coming in through the windows.
A perfect time to sit with old paints and new bits of board …

What do forks have to do with a long walk? Well, just click the picture or on this link to find out.

With such muses in my life, how could I not write this tale? Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Sun, will you shine in my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, will you shine, brightening my sky?

Yes, Lord! Yes, indeed, I will try.
*Lyrics composed while sittin’ in the sun.

A few blossoms found by the seashore this weekend. They suddenly glowed in a shaft of afternoon light.
One of those unexpected sights that made many a person pause, and one older gentleman even exclaimed, “What a glorious day it has turned out to be.”
