I'm running a bit behind, which is crazy since there's not been much going on with me this past week. And, most everything I'm about to share, you likely saw on Instagram if you follow me there. But, we're going to go ahead and go for it so that I don't get any more off-schedule. Take a peek.
Sunday and Monday were rainy days as Hurricane Marco's outer bands swept over our area. On Sunday, we discovered a British show, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, on YouTube; and it's been our daily binge of 2-3 of them each evening. While I had Zoe out on Monday between storms, this single dragonfly wing in the driveway caught my eye.
Tuesday was frustrating as all-get-out since the internet was out most of the day. I did knock out some busy work like taking and editing pictures though.
Somehow, I lost most of Wednesday doing who-knows-what. But, it was National Dog Day, so Zoe got her picture taken.
By Thursday, the rain had finally stopped. I was able to head out for a morning walk where I spotted these fuzzy mushrooms.
I also revealed my version of a Mandala for the Art Elements monthly theme.
In the afternoon, I saw that Blue Girl Beading, my favorite local bead shop, was having a sale on wire. So, I headed down there to take advantage of the savings. If you must know, most everything in the shop is on sale because the owner has decided to go after her dream of focusing on her silversmithing.
I was able to knock out a few tasks on Friday before heading to my mom's house to help her with some things including taking my niece to the dentist. Then, Saturday was a fairly wasted day as I accomplished very little. Though, it was nice to just have another lazy day.
See...it was as if the week had no substance to it. I'm hoping to make up for it this week. We'll see how that goes. For the most part, I eked in my five minutes of art for the #SouthernGals5Min challenge on Instagram (missing only Saturday).

And, that was the week for me. I hope your week was more productive and memorable than mine. If not, we always have this one! Make it a good one!!
