I managed just one watercolor on my week of vacation. There has been a lot going on in my life, and I hadn’t realized how exhausted I was, until I arrived and settled in to our cabin. So I gave myself a break, from doing anything that felt even slightly like an obligation. No regrets.
I will likely be away from the computer for most of the coming week. There may or may not be lake vacation watercolors on the return side, or there may be more angsty, messy jobs. Who can tell.
My garden does not have hedgehogs, but I always love to have places where small wildlife can hide, and the plants that find purchase can surprise me there. If only the local groundhog would please leave my dahlia shoots alone.
