We Snuck Out in Between Sprinkles.....

Yesterday we had a another dose of rain but to my pleasant surprise, it was 60 degrees outside, and for about an hour, it was sunny and warm, so I snatched up Thing 1 and Thing 2, and we ran outside to enjoy it; mud and all.

I also have a twelve year old step-son but he decided that his friend Malcolm was waaay cooler than me and my camera and willied off down the street before I could get a good shot. Oh, I'll catch him later.

I am pretty much obsessed with anything that looks aged. (I have taken a vow not to use the word vintage)----So I used a picture editing software and murdered the saturation levels amongst some other tweaks to get these pics of Frick and Frack looking like the 70's.
I love spontaneous sunlight on a rainy day!  

One Rainy Sunday....

The first blog post huh? I have genuflected over my first blog post for about a week, hoping a cool title, topic, or well edited picture would make me an instant Follower Magnet, a five-minute Style Me Pretty or Design Sponge.

What an arduous task; staying interesting. Let me start by saying I used to hate the rain. I felt like it drained my energy and stifled me. As I matured I see it as a cleansing thing. Something to meditate on, to clear your emotional sinuses. A chance to start something new.

I have decided, on this rainy Sunday, as I sit in my messy house, with messy hair in my messy art studio, to just be me. To pour out my thoughts and inspirations like water onto this keyboard and just let you have it. Let the flood begin.
