Sit and Listen, whether it is the wind through the trees or a good audio book.

Sit, Relax, listen and breathe, slow the day down, even if it is only a few minutes.

The world will quiet, just be patient it will come. And listen for all the little things, the birds in the trees, kids playing at the park. A quietly playing radio off in the distance.

Let all the quiet homely sounds calm your spirit and strengthen your soul and clear your mind.

Just sit and listen.

The summer heat has arrived and there is no way I am going to complain. Its hot and I am happy. Summer is much to short in my part of the world.

Some have complained about the rain but really, the trees are happy, the grass is green and the flowers are in their glory.

The year, we have had mushrooms growing everywhere and that hasn’t happened in years!!

So no, I can’t complain. I have enjoy every minute and I will continue to enjoy it for as long as mother nature will grace use with the beauty of summer.

What a busy but not busy day.

Meetup for Artscape which is coming along nicely. I think it is going to be a very busy event.

An online meet up for the Photowalk. It was a great monthly meetup with other photographers. They are a wonderful group and so very talented.

And the evening I started an online painting course. So far its been fun. It is a freeing experience. I like this style of painting, if you make a mistake just paint over it. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Busily working on my volunteer stuff for some online content. This has been an interesting experience. Trying to make them interesting and presentable. I tend to over do a bit so I have been trying to find the happy medium.

And I think with a bit of work I did find it.

this has been a wonderful opportunity to use some of my design skills and to be a bit more creative in different ways.

I have so many ideas, that I don’t have enough hours in the day to work through them all.

Today, was my day for me. I haven’t and had my toes done in about a year. Last year about this time my feet were a mess. I have worked hard to heal them up and looking half descent again. So that they don’t hurt anymore when I do go for a pedicure. What a difference it makes to have happy feet!! You actually want to do more things and not be embarrassed to go around barefoot anymore.

Nothing to exciting today. I worked, I got in a good work out and enjoyed a slice of pizza. And really, that sums up the day.

I think there is something very unique about Porcupine Hills.

It is a place bleak looking place in mid-winter. Bright and Green and full of life in the spring. Hot and High above the prairies in the summer. And fall will come early each by painting the trees yellow.

It can be a place of quiet beauty, just the birds and the wind. And then when a long weekend or any weekend really, it will become alive with campers looking for their little piece of heaven.
