Dreamtime

The air is as warm as bath water today.... soft as baby clothes.... enveloping me with sleep.... teasing me to close my eyes....to take a nap. I stretch my legs. I close my eyes. I dream. I dream of queens and mothers with their children in arms. Softly my dreams blow by....I drift....I float....my head jerks. I'm awake. Lunch hour is over.

    Love your Madonna and Child sketch! I collect them.

    Your nap sounds scrumptious.

    Love your artwork. Napping is never a bad thing. The weather is not that warm here but with the humidity...yikes! I am saving the tour for later tonight, just wanted to say hi!

    When I worked I was always afraid to take a nap....in fear that I would sleep WAY past the lunch hour. Sounds like you knew exactly when to wake up! :)

    Your nap sounds wonderful ...and I love the analogy of the air being as "soft as baby clothes"!

    Very pretty, and I like the scrolled "frames" around each drawing. Ah to sleep, perchance to dream....didn't Shakespeare once say?

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
