Today's prompt was "Street" so my Miss and I went out and sat on the front verandah in the afternoon with a big jug of water, and my sketch book. I drew the view of our street (mostly trees and part of the school) and she very happily played in her planter box full of dirt (I'd love to turn it into a mini sensory garden for her).

    1. Thank you Tricia. :)
      I was a little concerned about joining the group when I wasn't exactly doing the same project the rest of you were, but it's been lovely!

      It is a very lovely street... The best of the five streets we've lived on in our 8 years together.
      We'll be here a good long time I'd say. :)

  5. You are so lucky to have a little one that lets you have some 'you' time!! Today's picture reminded me of the house I grew up in. We had a row of those poles out the front.

    1. I'm just thankful for the planter box full of dirt. She loves digging in it and making messes.

      Because she's been sick once we went inside she spent most of the afternoon and evening snuggled next to me or on me.
      Without a distraction this street scene wouldn't have gotten done until she was crashed out and it was a night view! lol

      Bed is usually the sensible thing to do, but you're welcome to burn the midnight oil perusing my drawings any time. :) lol
