I was painting and dreaming of the special place he is making.
And then I’d be called to hold or reach or retrieve,
while the soup was simmering and the laundry was tumbling.
And tulips bloomed on my paper and in my heart,
while we spent another blissfully ordinary Sunday in home sweet home.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I did mention it I think in another post, but just subtly I think. Lol. Hubby is building me an art studio space in a bonus room in our house. So excited to have room to spread out and create and have fun and play. π
