Time Flies...
by Michele L. Mueller on 07/27/11
Seems like summertime is more for playing outside with family and friends than staying inside and painting. Most days, our 3 year old son doesn't want to take a nap and I have a hard time pulling him away from our current activities outside only to bring him inside to lay him down in a darkened bedroom by himself for a few hours. I'm not saying that I couldn't use the break but...I guess part of our job descritption as parents includes putting our childrens needs before our own.
With THAT said...I AM hoping to finish one more piece for the Aug. 6th weekend's show in Lakewood. It will be a fall scene with a bird house, pumpkins, leaves, etc. It's hard to remember that I should always be painting one season AHEAD of what it actually is. I guess the stores have it right...half way through summer it seems like the fall stuff is being put on the shelves... but I also find that very annoying sometimes! (I'm looking for more teke lights not pumpkins!) ;)
Today is a rainy day here in Northern Wisconsin - good day for cleaning and maybe even some painting. After all...I don't need to pull our son away from our outside activities today! :)
Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as we are. Even with a few unexpected deaths in the family and the heartbreak of missing them that goes along with that - we are plugging along with a smile and lots of love for each other.
Love to you all, too! MUAH! -Michele
