Just popping in for a quick "hi" and to tell you that I have been busy doing nothing for the past week. And it's been wonderful. lol
Actually, I've been working on some portrait photography for my portfolio. If I can get enough practice under my belt, I'd like to try my hand at doing it professionally. But that's a long way down the road. In the meantime, I've been rearranging some things around the house, thinking about stripping the wallpaper in the kitchen, and wondering if I can renovate the bathroom. I'd love to get my washer and dryer up from the basement. So strictly speaking I guess I haven't exactly been doing nothing.
Anyway, I'm going to let all these thoughts percolate for another week or so. I'll pop in during the week, and hope to see you all again for Mosaic Monday on August 15th.

If this were my house (rather than just me being the caretaker) then I would strip the wallpaper in the kitchen and the breakfast nook. Mary, you would probably love this house where I live.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the weather this morning delicious? I woke up early thinking I'd go back to sleep but it's just so beautiful. I feel like I'm back in Maine!
And you know how I feel about your Queen Anne's Lace. Love this.
It must be time for change for a few of us Mary.
ReplyDeleteStripping wallpaper in the kitchen, adding a new counter and sink are my project for September.
With such a long kitchen, it's crossed my mind to have the washer & dryer brought up too but that will take some thinking about.
Enjoy your rest.

If that is one of your photos above Mary I think you are a fabulous photographer, that is a very beautiful and compelling photo of a white flower!

Oh Mary I loved reading your post this morning! Isn't it funny how when we have the time to relax we plan all the projects we hope to tackle! We've been doing the same thing here :)
ReplyDeleteWe must be planning for those days ahead when we're snowed in!! Happy planning and see you again on Monday.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Mary! I'm glad you're enjoying your 'down' time and that you're using that time to think of more things to do. Isn't that the way it goes though! Best of luck with your photography...I doubt you'll need much practice as your photo's are gorgeous already. You should give lessons! Have a wonderful weekend...Maura :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I plan on having a couple do nothing days as soon as I get these horses moved. Until then it's nerves and lots of stuff to do!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely week. We need to do that for ourselves regularly.
ReplyDeleteYour picture is beautiful.
Our washer and dryer are stacked in our master bathroom.....and we want to get them to the basement!!!
Have a great weekend.
Gosh, this sounds like a wonderful week!!!
ReplyDeleteDoing nothing is great sometimes! Enjoy! Carla
ReplyDeletethat is a wonderful thing to do sometimes - nothing
ReplyDeleteGlorious lace. I'm excited to hear you're working on Portrait photography too! I hope it all works out for you, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI always love a home make-over ; )
So hear you Mary...I just spend two weeks, one at the beach...just doing nothing! Just enjoyed being in the moment and not having any plans to go, do, be ANYTHING...we all need that more in our lives. Have a wonderful week, fondly, Roberta

ReplyDeleteNice photo! Thanks for sharing. Sometimes our 'doing nothing's' turn out to be a whole lot more once we look back. Have a wonderful rest-of-the-summer.
ReplyDeleteOh, that photo just takes my breath away. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour nothing makes my busy look bad;) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI did one anyway... ;0)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I look forward to the mosaic monday next week. I am hosting a jewelry Giveaway on my blog. Look forward to seeing you there.
ReplyDeleteI hate missing your Mosaic Monday parties, Mary. They're one of my very favorites to link to. Hope to get things back to normal when I return from New England and can join in again.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your images for this past MM party. And I must disagree with you. I think you are sooo ready for a profession in photography!
Have a beautiful week!
