which had me all ga-ga-goo-goo and weak in the knees

Today, during FaceTime sketch time, which hasn't happened forever, I created a masterpiece. 

Sister in the meadow in Lummi Island.  Yes, there is the small matter of the missing portion of her right lower jaw.  My standards allow for such things. 

Shells were gathered for painting.  More on that another time.  If you have painted shells before you know what I mean.  You hate them until you look at them in a week.  And sometimes it takes two weeks. 

Other Sunday business included beginning to welcome Autumn.  I blame it all on Diana who had to go and show this on Instagram.  Which had me all ga-ga-goo-goo and weak in the knees.  Chris is now on a mission to turn my mail art frame into an inspiration board because I NEED to have one of these myself. 

Meanwhile the zinnia's are going strong but the leaves are starting to get that powdery mildew look to them.

This teen tiny zinnia the size of my thumb is as cute as cute can be.

I hope you are all having a marvelously restful Sunday.  Getting inspired.  Staying hydrated.  Taking naps.  Usual Sunday business.  

P.S.  If you haven't been inspired yet, here are two more Instagram shots you should see/read. 

Loretta and her husband "mystics in search of meaning and miracles", and Leslie exploring LYS's in Scotland.  In my mind, Diana, Loretta, and Leslie are going to get together with Sister and I sometime in a cabin in the woods and create magic.

I always get a kick out of your Facetime sister sketches! So good and so funny, too! A sketch retreat in the woods with you and all those other creative gals would be a blast, as I used to say in the '80s (does anyone say that anymore?) xo
