September Art Project / day twenty-two / coffee lovin' inspiration

words to live by

I know there are a lot of coffee lovers out there.

Who is with me?!

Oh, and I don't agree completely...

Strong, black coffee should ALSO contain a large, heavy-handed dose of half & half!

September Art Project / day eleven

hubby, coffee, drawing. i just forgot the chocolate.

Just something fun I whipped up when Brian and I were hanging out drawing again. The ONLY problem with art dates for date night is that we don't talk a whole lot! I still think they are super fun.

It's like being alone, but together.

Introverts...you know what I'm talking about?

September Art Project / day three

Day Three. Voila!

desert southwest road trip 2013

Hiking adventure. Pretty to look at. Don't touch!

The kids and I went on a road trip to visit the Grandparents who are 'snowbirding' in Truth or Consequences, NM this winter.

Hot springs, desert hikes, visiting the Rio Grande, window shopping on the main street - pretty exciting stuff happening in the TORC.

Except for almost visiting the local hospital due to asthma, it was a pretty great trip.

Plants in sunny window sill? Yes.

An example of something to avoid on a desert hike.

Old books. Yummy.

Time to work on those Baby Hiking Muscles.

Like to visit random small town libraries? I do.

Old service station.

Old business sign mural. Love.

Window display.

No texting while driving! Pix? Totally okay.

You need to visit (all of which can be done on a detour off the freeway through town):

Riverbend Hotsprings
Relax in your own private hotspring with a view of the Rio Grande. That's just cool.

Passion Pie Cafe
Best coffee in town. Super strong, the way it's meant to be.

Black Cat Books & Coffee
Great selection of used books. Best carrot cake ever!

Here are a few pix of our trip.

a drawing a day : Week Three

Scene from Coffee Shop Window

Coffee Shop, Scene 2

When I challenged myself to a drawing a day, who was I kidding?

But really, it has a much nicer ring to it than 'a drawing once or twice a week maybe three times if I'm lucky'.

But nevertheless, I persevere in my not too worried about the exact details kind of way.

Here are a few from this week.

Fred, going to work.
