Big girls don’t cry

A walk in the yard late this afternoon left me feeling much better. This, after a day at work that kept me busy and my mind off my sore finger. I took a pain pill after driving home with almost-clenched teeth. The ibuprofen had worn off hours ago and I knew I could make it until I got home where the good stuff is.

And by good stuff, I not only mean a pill that will take the edge off the pain, but just feeling good being home. I felt better almost immediately. After a short nap, I ventured outside with the camera and my giant finger. These clothespins caught my eye. I added a texture from Joy St. Claire. I just love her beautiful textures. They make me happy.

As I passed by the pansies in the window boxes, this little blue one caught my attention. It had just rained and the sky was that pretty early evening color that it gets after a light rain.

Rabbits are eating our lettuce and collard greens and my husband is lamenting the fact to me as I type. He’s got the garden fenced off but they use their wiley ways to get in. Please don’t tell him, but I don’t really care so much. There’s so much lettuce out there. I try to understand how much it upsets him, though.

I’m just glad it’s the weekend. I don’t even care that it’s supposed to rain for the next week straight.  However, in 3 or 4 days, I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune.

My friend, Dlyn is having an awesome Giveaway and not only that, but she’s going to make it a regular feature on her blog. She’ll be giving away a beautifully framed print. Good stuff.

I hope there’s an old movie on TV tonight. Something like the old Thin Man series featuring Nick and Nora Charles. Those movies are so fun. Or maybe I should just buy them.

Ok. Time for finger rest.

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .

PS ~ Alisa, I think of you always. You are in my prayers.
