Yesterday was almost a day of renewal. David put primer on all of the small spots he had had to use filler in. This means a 16 hour re-coat time, so we spent most of the day puddling around, and reading and just relaxing. Spent a lot of time "supervising" the workers at the church across the street. Actually did a little grocery shopping in the morning. We had run out of a lot of things, a few of which wouldn't wait until the end of the month to replenish.
We have been talking about finding some sort of activity, that doesn't cost a lot, but will get us out of the house. So far we've spent most of this wonderful warm dry summer huddled inside--working. There is an event this Saturday called "Art in the Forest" out at the forestry place in Hadashville. I've signed up for a one hour watercolour class, but there are a lot of free activities as well, some forest -related and some art related. More info at http://www.thinktrees.org/ under "events" then under "upcoming events". So, for the cost of gas, we'll have a day-long event, although the cost of my workshop will be extra. I plan to take a lot of pictures.
Some of the time was spent reading a very disturbing book. The book was "Full Black" by Brad Thor. I can't say I would recommend it. There was a lot of blood and mayhem, but it was interspersed with dialogue about some of the possible political and Political (note the difference) agendas behind the current world disorder. I was left with a very uncomfortable feeling. One of the ways I find new authors is by taking a good look at the "Current Bestsellers" shelf at the library. These are only available on one week loan, with hefty fines for late return. Sometimes you get a winner and sometimes not. I don't know where to classify this one.
So far we've had a busy summer, even if most of it was spent at home. I'm grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a quiet day of renewal.
