For some reason, in my head I'm hearing the song "This Long Day Is Over" sung by Norah Jones. Maybe because this day has seemed a bit long...I've been feeling a little under the weather. Nothing to do with yesterday's funnel cake sticks, mind you. This is all allergy, inner ear, sinus, sleepy, foggy, sore throat gar-bahge.
::she brightens::
But my daughter Sarah made me a beautiful, framed stained-glass piece. It is her first stained glass project, and it turned out well, and I am the proud owner of the gift! The colors are all the soft, quiet tones I am so absorbed with in this season of my life...white, tone-on-tone, aqua blue, amber colors...Sarah created a bird on a branch, all in stained glass. It sits on my kitchen windowsill, and fascinates me, because it looks one way when the sun streams through it, another way when it is dark outside, and still yet another way when it is daylight, but no direct sun. I was going to take a picture of it for you, but when I went to boot up my camera, it is slap out of juice.
::sigh::
Add that to my list of things to do tomorrow: bake an apple crumble, do all my regular Thursday chores, lecture on satire for our home school, oversee assignments in said school, knit some more on the scarf I'm working on, go get batteries, take pictures for my blog.
Which reminds me, you'll be excited to know (??!) I'm close to mastering f-stops.
::cheers, confetti::
Which is another reason I need batteries, and add that to my list of things to do tomorrow: fiddle around with aperture and f-stops some more. Tomorrow. For now, this Long Day is Over.
Long Day Is Over
by Nora Jones
Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over
The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on
With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over
