friday i'm in love

April 18, 2025 Arlene Giddings

An extra long Easter weekend
for me as I had yesterday off, too….
a nice long drive, a dirt road even though
the timing felt sketchy and dangerously
possibly muddy but it ended ok! :)
an amazing lunch at Bogside
with a bestie,
and an appointment with a new
osteopath and big hopes
that maybe THIS will fix my headaches!
(I am ever the optimist…haha)

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:

🐰um…i might like to have this kitchen please…

🐰ummm. i might like to have this latte please…and I don’t even know if i like lattes but this one? this one is screaming my name.

🐰DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. I played it and I CAN’T STOP!!! I warned you…..and I even warned you in all caps.

🐰 it’s “just barely” warm enough for deck reading (and this book is sooo good)

🐰 the photo at the very top was a leaf that fell off one of my plants and it was so frigging pretty that I had to try to draw it…I just couldn’t capture the color…

Happy easter to you and i hope
the easter bunny finds you and that he is
not as terrifying as he seems to be in all the
old photos I keep seeing online with traumatized
little screaming children.
:)

sometimes...

August 9, 2023 Arlene Giddings

sometimes
i talk
too much…
a lot…
non stop…
i get excited
about all the little things
& i just want
to share
and share
and share some more…

and sometimes…
i don’t want
to talk at all.

i am sleepy
and quiet
and i can’t
find the energy
to get out of
my own way…

maybe both extremes
are ok…
two sides of my tarnished
bent and broken coin…
maybe i should just lean into it
and stop
trying to fight it….
trying to always be
energized and bubbly and creative.

it’s ok to rest, too.

especially on rainy days.
♥

also i seem
to be on a little
fairy kick…
not sure where they are coming from…
but i like that they are visiting
and that they don’t eat all the
candy…just a little bit.

November has been beautiful so far.
I have been exploring dirt roads
and spent some time on trails
and windy beaches and
even a little bit of stargazing…

And…
I have finally finished a new
watercolor painting!!
Inktober was really a good thing
for me this year.
If you followed along with me on
that geek girl journey,
you may recognize where the
idea for this painting came from…
:)

If you are interested,
it is listed over here.
It’s also on my Facebook photography page.
I am hoping to get back to
some productive hours
at the little blue desk
and my brain is buzzing with ideas…
I can’t promise they are all
good ideas
but ideas nonetheless.
Heehee.

Happy, happy Sunday…enjoy it! :)
