It’s been a very quiet morning. Bobby left for Maryland before the crack of dawn (he’ll fly back home tonight) and I’m just finishing up my cup of coffee, make that 2 cups.

As Bobby was ready to head out the door this morning, he reminded me that “we’re going to TX Saturday” and both of our faces were as bright as ever just thinking about our trip home.

I’ve been sort of taking this week in stride letting come what may and have plans to get cracking on the laundry tomorrow and probably won’t pack ‘til Friday evening or Saturday morning.

There were no plans for colored pencils at all this week but yesterday the seams of yearning broke and another picture was started. I’m thinking I’ll have it finished sometime today and I’ll share when the piece is complete. Right now it’s in the yucky stage and really doesn’t want to show its face. So I’ll be nice and wait ‘til it’s all done. I’ll give you a hint; it’s all about fruit again.

I keep thinking I’m all done with fruit for a while but that’s what I’ve been ‘drawn’ (no pun intended) to lately. There have been some other subjects arise and I’m still waiting for the kaleidoscope inspiration to come. Kaleidoscope as in, I would love to draw something that uses every color in the rainbow, something bright and cheery that echo’s “pick me”! Perhaps it will come during our little time away, we’ll see.
