friday adventures {part 2 - north rustico & art in motion}

August 20, 2017 Arlene Giddings

it's funny...
i go for so long and
i don't touch the keyboard,
i don't blog at all...
and then suddenly,
i'm blogging so much that i have to write
SEQUELS.

next there will be cliffhangers.
and season finales.
and fonzie jumping over a row of
flaming motorcycles...
ok...
well..
maybe not
flaming
motorcycles.

or was it a shark?

anyway...
remember that friday i went to cavendish
and took so many photos of
flowers and weeds and church like cottages
that i had to write a second part to
cover the rest of the day...
well...here it is (if you hadn't already guessed)...

i was on my way home...
but ended up in north rustico
don't ask. i don't even know if that's on my way home
but anyway...that's where i ended up...
i was looking for food
but didn't end up eating because the
traffic was stressing me out...
but i did find a chicken...or maybe a hen...
and A BIG PURPLE JELLYFISH

when i came back to town, i went
for a walk on the boardwalk
and on my way home,
noticed there was something going on
at the lefurgey cultural center
so stopped to check it out...
all kinds of artists
set up showing how they create their art...
there were painters of all kinds
and felted wool creatures so cute
and knitted hats and blankets
and adorable stuffed toys...

then i wandered into a tent
where there was a woman
playing the cello
and i ended up staying
for 3 hours...
nathan wiley played next
and i love his songs
but i think it's his
songwriting that draws me in...
he definitely has a way with words.
logan maddix played last
and i always enjoy listening to him
as well...

and even better was that 17
showed up to watch the last show
with me. :) ♥ :)

i love when a day
turns out to be so
unexpectedly-fantastic.

summer bucket list - 2017

July 22, 2017 Arlene Giddings

i know we are already far into july...
and i don't know about you
but i am now hitting that panicky
summer is fleeting...
it's going too fast,
i have to do more
or it's going to be gone feeling.

you know...
you get that sudden sick anxious feeling...

that
winter is coming
feeling...

i made myself a summer bucket list
at the beginning of this summer
because...well...no weddings...
means i can actually DO some things this summer.

i just realized there are already some more to
get checked off the list
as of this weekend...
and there will probably be more
that i will add to it
but for now, that's the list...
and t-minus roughly a month & one week
to get it done! (& cue panicky feeling again)
(although some of these will bleed over into fall...like tree-go & maybe cabot trail)

and (although it's been proven unwise
for me to ask this in the past,
i am always open to suggestions as well..
whatcha got on YOUR summer bucket list?)
(everyone DOES make one, right?
it's not just me...)

and a pretty flower picture....just...because...it's a pretty flower.
