5-28-2021. Another Sketch

I brought in a rose 

and set a 'rose bowl' on my desk for inspiration,

beauty, and aroma!

5-27-2021. Roses

I  LOVE roses!

After 20-some years

(since having a rose bush in Missouri),

I will attempt to grow a rose bush

in my yard full of clay soil here in Iowa.

It is a beautiful coral color

and has an intoxicating rosy aroma!

Wish me luck!

Also...

I hope everyone enjoy the

Full Moon/ Super Moon/ Blood Moon last night!!!

It was HUGE

and hung so beautifully

over my neighborhood!

Really powerful...

5-26-2021. Leftovers

I'm using yarn leftovers

from the hat I knitted while on vacation

to knit another kep...just arranging the colors differently...

And now that the CDC mandates 

for mask-wearing have been relaxed. . . 

5-25-2021. Sidewalk Chalk

A street over from mine

someone has been having lots of fun with sidewalk chalk!

Between these 2 driveways, on the sidewalks

is an entire 'fitness path' where you are directed

to do push-ups, jumping jacks, lunges, hop-scotch, etc.

All I did was take pictures!
