Fortifying

Loving our new California landscape but also missing the sights and sounds of the Midwest, so the three-week trip back home was fortifying, visiting family and friends in various places, listening to the sounds of the prairie and woods: hissing grasshoppers, chirping crickets, buzzing cicadas, scolding katydids. Those warm September days and cool nights. That humidity. Those beautiful puffy clouds and lovely sunsets. 

Yes. All very fortifying and renewing. I have returned with an eagerness to resume my learning curve in art so that I can draw and paint and wonder over nature's beauty no matter where I am. 

Bring it on.
