Balls In The Air

I related to this story of the day from Flying Edna:  "trying a new set of stretches that go in every direction at once so it lines up more with her life"

Yup! That sounds like me right now! And ironically enough I am trying to stretch more. 

I feel like I've got a lot of balls in the air going in every direction....and I'm just bouncing...rolling... and throwing them around the best I can. All while finding nuggets of joy in the sometimes crazy full yet wonderful life I get to live.

I checked a lot of chores off the list today...but here are some of joy nuggets:

I spied these really cool seed pods out on a walk....

and I found a place to enjoy them for a while.

I finished my String of Pearls page in my watercolor journal. It has been just the right painting project...just doing a few little pearls each day. 

The next time I paint...I'll be ready for a new color scheme. Although this page does need a companion.

I love this view of sun through the trees this time of year just before it sets.

And finally...Paul and I watch for the doves every day during happy hour.

The seem to gather based on the light relative to sunset....because they've been coming about five minutes later each day. But they still come....and we're quite fond of them.
