I wake to songbirds

and the smell of fresh coffee

as the rain soaks in

***

well... we are postponing our trip slightly... and not heading out until September...

for many reasons... not the least of which is that I need more time to heal my leg.

And so. I have been thinking about what to concentrate on this month... in terms of work around the house.

The past few days I have been working on clearing out a small ton of magazines from my garage.

Most of them were gifted to me by a friend... and I have been going thru them and pulling out pics that I like for journaling and such.
(and of course, recycling the rest).

I am also working on an assemblage mixed media piece... that will hopefully go in the living room when it's done.... more on that later.

But for now... I am up (quite) early... and am sipping some coffee while the rain from last night soaks into the ground... and it is wonderful.
