Sunny Yellow

"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun."

❦Pablo Picasso

 

My attempt at digital art-my drawing of a yellow tomato.

Angelic little butterfly, working so hard.

Summer ends with the prolific blooming of goldenrod~solidago.  Goldenrod is often falsely accused of causing hayfever, but the true culprit of the seasonal sneezing is Ragweed, a similar wild plant.

  

                 Who could frown at these pretty little Black-eyed Susans?  Rudbeckia hirta.   

Fluttery 

little butterflies 

certainly

find

them 

attractive.

Sweet little fellow on yarn of yellow.

                                                                        

I think it would be a nice time now, for a cup of tea.  

Camomile Tea for me.  

To sit and 

contemplate

how quickly summer has come and gone.  

As the author of The Happiness Project says:
The days are long, but the years are short. 

Gretchen Rubin.

How true that is.

The leaves have begun to change and the nights are cool.

But the waning summer days are 

sunny yellow.

The Color Purple

These purpl-y beauties are from my gardens.

I just wanted

to

 share these colorful

gems

to brighten your

day.

The Unveiling

Today is the day I share my new laundry room.  

I still need to get my pretty chandelier hung, but I'm awaiting Dear Hubby to squeeze it into his work schedule....

it is a lofty task for sure...

being the fixture is at least 12 feet vertical 

in the laundry room.

My goodness, it is so bright in my laundry room.

I sort of liked doing my laundry, before I had

my

new

room,

but now 

I believe 

I will like the task a bit more.

Look here as a reminder

of the before.

How do you like it?

Until next time....

"Our life is what our thoughts make of it."
— Marcus Aurelius

 

Oh So Pretty.  

My Ionic Sky isn't as intensely colored as this sample room, but it is of the same hue.

I have a crystal chandelier to hang, if Hubby will do this for me.

I painted an entire wall yesterday and it turned out lovely, but

  I can't show you just yet.   

 I must finish my painting, first.

 Soon, you will see the final result.

Haha, I feel a bit like Candice Olson, designer extraordinaire.  

I am off to paint...see you later.

 

Ionic Sky

I·on·ic  (-nk)

adj.

1. Of or relating to Ionia or the Ionians.

2. Architecture Of or belonging to the Ionic order.

n.

The ancient Greek dialect of Ionia.

I picked up my gallon of paint today.  It's called Ionic Sky and I wanted to jump right into the can of beautiful blue paint.  If I hadn't had a horrific migraine this lovely summer day, I would have dipped my paintbrush into the creamy blue paint and stroked it onto the first wall of my laundry room.  I can barely wait to get it started.  I also checked out new washers and driers and found some beauties, but haven't decided on a pair yet...still dreaming, I am.  

Which area rug do you prefer?
I like all three very much, but I do have to decide of course.
Keep in mind my Dear Doggies will be lying on this rug.

Rug Number 1?

 Rug Number 2?

Rug Number 3?

Gathering Ideas

“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it” Albert Einstein quotes

  

                            Which idea is your favorite?
                I like Creamy White, but I'm rather partial to the 
                                               Robin's 
                                                 Egg 
                                                Blue.  
                         Just maybe, 
                                 the stack-able appliances 
                                              will end up 
                                                        in my 
                                                            dream book
                                                                   too.  
                                                                 T'would leave more room for Dear Doggies.
