Spent almost the entire day outside with the paintbrushes, having a race to see who would win, myself or the gathering clouds. The last week has been more rain than sunny intervals. Most frustrating - my creativity is being stifled! (The urge to dash out and paint every wooden surface in sight seems to be yet another by-product of our recent wanderings. Other pilgrims have world-shaking mystical experiences; Yours Truly develops a yen to decorate the trellis (and those plants that had the temerity to be growing in the way of my paintbrush) in buttermilk and sage. Very restful. Very tasteful. Very satisfying. I've an inkling of what The Almighty must have felt surveying his/her handiwork. "And God saw that it was good." And before I get a stream of comments accusing me of being a) a megalomaniac or b) worse, no, I do nottake the creation accounts in Genesis literally. Even if my over-fertile imagination does love the picture of the spirit hoovering over the deep.
