Some ramblings…

by Dale Anne Potter

A regular blog reader asked the other day when I was going to show another 9 am photo from my front porch…..Here you go!

For those new to reading my blog, I used to do a 9 am shot quite regularly – showed the seasons & the weather.  We NEED the hedge trimmed – probably won’t happen until our son comes for a visit next month.

Its going to be a scorcher today!  Can feel it already….

Wondering how productive I’m going to be today on only 3 hours sleep…..was playing in my studio until 4:55 AM.  I LOVE what I see in there this morning!  Will go back up once breakfast, coffee & treadmill time is over.

The Sears wishbook arrived yesterday….I swear it comes earlier & earlier every year!  DH flipped through it but I only opened it where all the cameras & camcorders are.  I start from the back of the catalogue – thought I was the weird one until I kept reading alot of people do that…..DO YOU?

I stopped listening to the news and don’t read the newspaper anymore…..I AM A MUCH HAPPIER PERSON!  I do read headlines on the internet, and only go read further if something interests me.  I don’t get ticked at the stupid people out there or wonder why the legal or political systems don’t work better……YES, a much happier place leaving all that crap to others to fret about.  LIFE IS TOO SHORT!!!

The Work of Art finale is this Saturday on Bravo Canada……people on Twitter & Facebook (US Bravo was 3 weeks ahead of us) already gave away the ending, but I still am enjoying seeing the challenges they have been doing and listening to the critics….even DH has been watching.  The only reality TV show I’ve watched in many years.  I have written down all the challenges they have been doing & I’m thinking of doing them myself – when?  We will see!

This year, I have been going through my notebook and checking off techniques/methods, etc. that I have wanted to try for a long time…No pressure, just play and I have come to enjoy just playing again.  So, what does this mean – means I will continue to not pressure myself with deadlines, events, etc.   Some will say I’m not a true artist if I don’t push my Art – I have posted pieces here on my blog and in my Etsy store, but that is about all the pushing I am going to be doing.

HAVE YOU PLAYED TODAY???

And I say – good for you for not pushing the art. Bah – humbug to those who would say you’re not a true artist.
I also laud your choices to not do news. I’ve been away from it for a long time already.
Mostly congrats on your playtime. WOoT!

Ooo nice pic. what were you doing up at 9am? 3 hours of sleep?! And yes, indeed, I tend to read magazines from back to front. Not novels though, especially not mystery novels ;)
