Bye Bye Birdies...

"You'd think they were your children or something, Mom,"
said my oldest daughter today.

Three birds.

1.
2.
3.
Are gone.


Flown away to new homes.


They're not my children, but they are a little piece of me.

My pencil moves so easily.
The texts are so fun to find.
The feathers, bits of my fly-tying days...
Lace,
buttons,
pearls,
velvet,
things I love.

Four more to complete,
and they'll fly away too.

Last night's show was amazing.
Fabulous turnout.
Met wonderful people.
I couldn't sleep last night.
Too excited.
Wired from the energy.
Creative wheels spinning.

Now it's back to reality.
Piles of laundry.
Floors to clean.
Grocery shopping.
Paperwork.
Piles.
Reality.
Monday morning.

Quiet in the studio again.

I'm staying up late to tackle the mess,
so I can play again tomorrow.
