Over Coffee.....

This morning I went dancing outside singing. The predictors were mistaken. Its not going to be another 100+ degree day. It may get to the high 80s, but what a difference. A great reason for a smile.

I did a little shopping this morning. I had gotten some birthday money from a dear friend and I did not want it to just sit in my pocket, if you know what I mean. I got two types of pens. A black permanent marker. I use this to blacken out identifying information on junk mail before I toss it. I also do a little tearing, but not so much is needed when the marker is also used. And 'just because it was there', I also bought a Faber-Castell artist pen. My other one is starting to go dry. I got the medium sized nib... fine nibs are too fine for my style.
 


I also picked up another fan. I am now the proud owner of three. Two reside in the living/kitchen area and the one I got this morning is for the pc area in the bedroom. Its small and although it will fit my needs, I do not recommend it, though. Its not strong enough .... it doesn't put out enough wind for me. I like my hair to flow horizontal and the wrinkles around my mouth to smooth out when I turn on a fan. Know what I mean? This tower fan would be for someone very delicate. That ain't me. But it will do....
 


(The author started to bring out the trumpets, but thought better of it and put them back.) AND... I bought a watermelon!! I can't remember the last time I had one. I just finished eating one end of it and it was good. Sweet and juicy. See the spot on my shirt? Its also red.
 


Well... I enjoyed myself this morning. I still have lots of errands to do tomorrow, but I made several dents in the to-do list this morning. I hope your day is grand, too.

Well sounds like you put your birthday money to good use. Does that Faber pen mean you will be sketching even more...

We are heating up again tomorrow, high 90's...it's been beautiful though. I spent hours outside today watering, photographing the birds...and other stuff...s

Happy late birthday, Crone.

Heh! I never thought of using a fan to get rid of wrinkles around the mouth and thicken my hair for the windblown look. You artist types are so darn creative. :)

A "fan club"...(grin) Cute Wanda.

It's warm everywhere but here on the coast. I haven't needed a fan.
