I did some weeding yesterday.

Planted some wildflower seeds and

watered everything in the front-

Flowers,

Birdbath,

Trees,

Some grass,

and...ME!

Fortunately it was a nice day in the 60’s.

It got me thinking of swimming pools

Which always gets me thinking about

MERMAIDS!

An original Collage Art Doll by inkspired

I have no idea when my fascination

with mermaids began.

I’m not anything like my sister,

So perhaps I was left on a doorstep,

or found on a beach...

I know this is a well known artist but I sure can’t find the name! Sorry.

She always did tell me they found me on the doorstep. She told my parents to 

‘Put her back!’

But they didn’t listen, so here I am....

Susan B. Pearse (1878-1980)

Mermaid lore has been around for a very long time,

across many cultures.

Artists have been mesmerized,

Poets have been enchanted

and People have dreamed.

 Found on Pinterest where no credit was given. Grrrr...

Next are some more realistic 

mermaid interpretations:

 I really searched to try and find the artist who painted this, to no avail.

I think she is an absolute beauty among mermaids.

“The Promise” by Victor Nizovtsev

Mr. Nizovtsev is one of my favorite mermaid artists.

😋

That’s it for today, because beside the sea,

Others are calling me,

For instance,

Laundry,

An unmixed coffee cake,

Vacuuming,

Dead head my daffodils 

Deliver to neighbors

Label and address card;

Give card to post office

Pick up dog p**p

Clean my craft room

Finish painting rocks

Oh...

the List just goes on...

and on...

Or a nap could be good.

So could gluing some cards...

So many choices we have!!!

‘Til next time,

Truth, (usually discovered before 10am,

or before coffee)...

Your coffee will not heat up in the microwave

if you don’t turn on the microwave.

No matter how long you wait for it.
