Imagine...

The wind is blowing as there is a thunderstorm rolling in from the east. The trees are dancing and the leaves are floating across the grass. The birds are chirping and flying around to find shelter. Sounds of thunder mumble in the distance and the smell of rain is calming...

It was not a typical Southern humid day as I sat on my swing and watched Mother Nature in all of her glory.

Thank you for the sweetest comments about my jungle.

I took your advice. Yesterday afternoon, I relaxed outside and enjoyed the fruits of my labor. I basked in the glory of a job well done. I was thankful that I was sore and sunburned. Yes, I was thankful. For there are many who are not able to move and work nor get the chance to feel the sun on their skin. But let me tell you, I still hate bugs! Since Robin taught me that a wasp is not a bug...I have to add that I hate wasps too! ;)

So I had a delightful afternoon outside with these...

The current issues of Somerset's Sew, Belle Armoire Jewelry, Gallery and the premier issue of Art Quilting Studio. I have to say though, I read every word of Art Quilting Studio and the photos are wonderful!!!! Would you expect anything less from Somerset?

Some of my favorite blog friends are in this issue! And of course, it was a delight to see new artists I've never heard of too!!!

I haven't read Sew and Gallery yet, I'm saving those for Sunday and Monday.

I hope your Memorial Day Weekend is as relaxing as mine...

If you need me, I'll be watching the thunderstorms roll in and out...

I'll still be outside on the swing~
