The Creative's Day Off

      Wishing to spend some time outdoors on this summer's day she grabs her camera and heads out back.  Spending the first hour of the day staking birds and shooting lilies. 
      Still feeling tired and stressed from the week, she renters the house and puts on a little music to delight her soul.  While dancing to a tune, one line from the song sends her to the couch with journal in hand.
      Journaling about something that had been weighing on her mind brings a breakthrough. And sparks some ideas, causing her to reach for her "idea notebook."  Struggling with the "how to" of an idea, she begins to draw tulips on the page.
      Changing to her drawing journal, she draws the tulips again coloring them with a bright red marker.  The color of geraniums?
      Scooping up the cat she heads over to her studio to paint.  A large watercolor of red geraniums.
After a couple of hours of work she is satisfied with the result.  So much so that she decides to frame it later. 
      Into storage to find a frame.  Then to the shop to search for some flat black spray paint.  Discovering a can of bright pink.  Huh?   She brings it along as well.  Stopping at storage again on her way to the backyard she gets out an antique piano stool that had been forgotten and left in a corner.
      In the backyard she paints her items.  Uses the drying time to eat a snack and read on the patio.
      Now dry the hot pink piano stool is taken into the house.  While looking for the perfect spot for this stool she hears a cardinal call.  Not a real cardinal, a fake one.  It is two o'clock!!!!!
      She had forgotten to phone a friend this morning as promised. She flipped on the computer to send him an apologetic note.
      That some how became this blog post!

      Sorry Wade!  I know you totally get it.  Hope you had a great day.
