Zero desire to get out of bed and go to work this morning. Terribly long, busy week ahead between work and full run rehearsals nightly. Next week will be the same. Ugh.
Anyway, here's a picture of a rose I took in the backyard yesterday. Breathe and keep moving forward. 💙

I needed a moment of joy, so I decided to sit on the bricks right next to the hummingbird feeder. I knew my feathered friend would see me there and pop by for a visit while replenishing itself.
Sorry for my voice. I talk to my birdies like I do babies. I wuv them. 💙

Six years ago, when the girl was indeed just a girl and not sweet sixteen, she dared to wake up early and join me to take pictures of the hot air balloons.
She has not done so since.

Played around and accidentally found this setting that turned a photo into a drawing. I kinda like this one.

This is me. People stop me and ask for directions in random cities I visit, even in Finland. Interestingly enough, I can usually guide them. People also ask me where to find items in stores.

I swear our family can't seem to catch a break. Please send positive thoughts into the universe for a family member today. Yesterday doctors discovered lesions on her colon and tumors on her ovary and kidney. They're performing colon surgery today and she has consults for the tumors. My heart aches.
