Good Morning:
I'm back from what is traditionally a busy week. My wedding anniversary is on June 13, my oldest son's birthday is on June 17, and Father's Day always falls on Sunday after our anniversary.
Altogether, we had a great week, but today is officially "back to the norm". This is always a sad and melancholy Monday as Gary goes back to work after being off for days. He has always planned days off around our anniversary and Garrison's birthday. We're somewhat like "Siamese Twins" when he's home from work for an extended period of time. When he goes back to work, I just find myself a little dis-gruntled. I'm not sure what to do with my time.
I've been to the garden this morning and enjoyed the cool of the morning.
It isn't as hot today, but in the next day or so, we're going to get blasted with daytime highs in the 100's. I'm making a conscious effort to breath in the sights and smells of the damp morning that's upon us now, as I know full well what's lurking around the dry, desert corner!!
Don't get me wrong, it will still be hot enough to turn the air-conditioner on in the afternoon, but I might be able to squeeze in a few hours with open windows.
I have plans to meet with some dear friends for dinner this evening. Nothing more than a Subway sandwich, but nevertheless, it's always nice to steal a few moments with friends that you don't get to see as often as you would like. I'm also hoping to work on a collage ACEO that's almost finished. I'd like to get it listed in My Etsy Shop tomorrow morning.
Otherwise, I have a new "Set of 3" ACEO collage prints entitled "Plumpy Babies" listed today:
Forgive me for such a scattered blog entry. I'm simply trying to get back into the "swing of things" after such a perfectly dreamy week.
Until Tomorrow:
Kim

LOVE those babies! Stay cool and check out my little graduate on my blog. Too cute!
I love your plumpy babies! I love the image of protection in them.
Hi Kim...I know what you mean...I got in late last night from SF...and it takes awhile to get back to reality!
And I have to say that photo of you and Gary is the cutest. Sounds like you had a great time. He sounds like quite a guy!
xoxo
I love your plumpy babies Kim, I'm not sure which is my favorite! I just got back from out of town and I'm also trying to come to terms with the reality of "norm". ;-)
the babies are adorable!
i love the appearance of the hands in your images too, they are always so mysteriously benevolent. I have only just begun to think about this one.....
the flower images are beautiful too:)
