A moment of creativity and nature

 6-11-21 Friday. So yesterday I didn't do much around the house. I wasn't very motivated to do anything productive like declutter or clean.  I was in the mood to be creative or just to sit and do nothing.  I ended up spending half of the day lookin online for a job and applying to a ton of places.  I also enjoyed eating pizza with my daughter Sara and her friend Abbey.  At one point they decided that they were going to go outside and try out Sara's hammock. I had gotten it for her birthday back in December.  While they were outside I decided to paint.  So I did.


I've always wanted to try the technique using painters tape.  You rip the tape not worrying about how straight, you want a jagged look.  Then you apply it to the canvas.  Then you paint your picture and take the tape off to still have white strips that will look like aspen or birch trees when you are done.  It was fun! I enjoyed doing this one.  I think it came out good.
It makes me happy when I look at, thinking of summer, nature and fresh air. 

Sara & Abbey.
They managed to get it up and were out enjoy it.  They stayed out there for hours.

I love seeing how happy and peaceful she looks.  After Abbey left she continued to hang out there for another couple of hours too.

She is so enjoying the feeling of hanging and swaying in the trees. I love it!

So yes I had to have a turn too! I've always wanted on but I've never been in one. So crazy to be 48 years old and still doing things I've never done before.  I loved it!! Sara pushed me for a bit so I could enjoy the swaying for a bit too.  So relaxing. A great way to enjoy nature!

I'm hooked! I need one.  Sara said I stole her hammock hahaha...

I'm going to figure out how I can get one!
