Eyes on the Sky

Last night my dad texted me wondering if I'd also like to have "eyes on the sky." Of course I did! I called him back and David and I went out in our front yard and through the gift of technology my dad, his wife, David, and I were all looking up at the same big sky marveling at planets.

Hatspiration

Inspiration can come from anywhere if you are open to noticing. About a week ago a beanie that was just my color appeared in my neighborhood Buy Nothing Facebook group. I asked for it and was thrilled to be chosen to receive it. Yesterday I painted a piece inspired by my new favorite beanie.
