DC: Second Hand

morning sketch

I usually draw from my imagination

it was fun to sketch from my yard

 treasures can be found second hand

already

broken in

wonderfully worn

full of life's spirit

yesterday i was given this bench

(thank you Annie and Charlie!)

it's seat boards aged with life

i cleared a spot for it along my pond

raking the grasses with the copper 'second hand' rake

a place to sit

to sketch

to be

to sip

to chat with friends

a glimpse of the pond through

lovely details

 

the view from the bench

on this beautiful autumn morning

Sweet Equinox to you!

Happy Autumn too!

Thank you Joke

for being our wonderful host

with the challenge: Second Hand

on this first day of spring

half way between the shortest day of the year

and the longest day of the year

i woke to fresh snow!

one of my favorite spring

and summer

1 cup homemade almond milk
