♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
I see that our plants are reveling in the dousing of water that Lynn gave them last evening. The extreme heat had them looking a bit bedraggled. Thankfully they are looking revived today!
♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
I am a bit slow to revive myself. I am suffering from quite a sinus headache. The pressure is keeping me from jumping into anything.
♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
I am enjoying catching up on my vlogs that make me pretty happy. I have several that I follow, even though about half have either quit or are taking a hiatus. Right at the moment I am watching the Cottage Fairy which I have watched for a couple of years. I enjoy the artistic quality, and in fact have purchased some of the art from this very talented young lady.
♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥
I just finished my lunch. I scrambled an egg and had half an English muffin. Being on Weight Watchers, and really trying to stay right on track, I find the light eating sort of upsets my system, so a scrambled egg and a bit of bread does seem to bring things back into rhythm. I have lost 20pounds so far and am feeling better in so many other ways.

Grilled chicken on a bib lettuce with fruit salad and a spatter of red wine dressing.
♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
After my shower, I will be wearing shorts, a summer top and just my morning slippers.
♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥
Chapters from Judges, Acts, Jeremiah, Mark.
♥♥On my TV this week ♥♥
I am sorry to say goodbye to the Christmas programming on Hallmark! Probably just me! Haha, I must say I’m not happy with the shift in Hallmark for being as inclusive as they are. Something I wouldn’t want to explain to young impressionable granddaughters. So that inevitably returns me to YouTube where I have more autonomy to choose what is interesting to me. Design, vintage films and tv, faith based programming, and various news outlets.
♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
Except for the den which is where I usually spend my mornings , all looks great! My corner of the den is laden with books, journals, and dishes at the moment. I need to return my lunch ware to the kitchen!

I’m not bragging.. I’ve just always enjoyed drawing and I’m certainly not an artist. I have to copy or draw from something else. But the top photo was a super fun sketchbook Skool drawing we did online last Thursday as we copied along with our instructor. I highly recommend following Sketchbook Skool online if you love to sketch. The cardinals are the beginning of my cardinal topic in my nature journal. I use the nature viewpoint, as well as, the internet to help me draw a true to form character as I continue in my journal. This is proving to be a beloved pastime for me at this stage in my life!
A Good Word
I absolutely love your drawings! Also, congratulations on the weight loss, so happy for you!
