Looked around the house: dirty laundry, dog hair and dishes in the sink.
Popped in the studio door: to-do lists everywhere.

I had a horrible attitude.
Then I looked again.
I saw Katie, our sweet dog, once horribly abused, now rescued and rolling with glee in the grass. Even if the lawn is mostly clover and dandelions, it's a happy spot.

The clover is full of bees, and they're making the honey we spread on our home made bread...
I even caught the elusive motion of the wings!
