It’s just a typical Tuesday at my house. I had a brisk morning walk…52°F. It was refreshing but I’m not going to lie…I wished I had worn long sleeves.
Next it’s time for a bit of coffee and list writing. Lists help me stay focused. Trust me…I was WAY off task this weekend and Monday. Mr. G took yesterday off so typically I take that “time off” as well. I don’t create lists and sort of go with the flow. Not always the best choice for me.
Good news though…last week I was very productive.
I replanted green beans, snap peas and zucchini.
They have all sprouted! Hopefully I’ll get some good production before our first frost.
My tomatoes are ripening. My squash lost the battle with pests…squash borers got to them…but now I know what to look for.
Marvin was busy watching the birds while I was snapping a few photos.
My tiger lilies are in full bloom and the deer have left them alone! 
Perhaps its the new guard bear my neighbor painted and gave to Mini-me. That or the bar of Irish Spring soap I have hanging from the cage around the lilies. I heard that deer don’t like the smell of clean people. :)
I’ve started working in a new journal. I’m not loving this book as I’m afraid that its not well made enough to withstand the abuse that I put my art journals and altered books through.
It was the only one I had laying around at the moment. Since I’m not thrifting at all, it will have to do.
I thought it was funny that it had traveled half way across the country into my hands just for me to destroy alter it.
I’ve completed 4 spreads so far. This is a snippet of a page. I’m having a lot of fun playing with texture.
The T Tuesday post from last week had another one of the spreads. I’ll share more in another post. I’ve already rattled on too long for today.
