Last week I was laid low with some kind of fever-inducing microbial critter attack. Was a permanent horizontal fixture on the couch with only enough energy to punch the channel button on the TV remote. Discovered there isn't doodleysquat worth watching on cable TV. Thank goodness for PBS.
Started perking up Sunday night (finally!) and made a sketching date for today with Miz Dee.
The weather was beautiful. A nice breeze was blowing with a heat index less than 100°+. Yay! We found a deep shady spot in a meditation garden beside this fieldstone church. Lots of benches for staring at green stuff. Perhaps green stuff is helpful for meditation, I don't know. I stare at lots of green stuff most days but it doesn't seem to be meditation-inducing, at least not for me.
Anywho, after this sketch I realized I didn't want to draw any more fieldstone. Phew! That's a time eater right there, lemme tell ya what. The green stuff likewise was not attracting my attention, plus I needed to pee (TMI?) and Dee was uncomfortably hot even in the shade with a breeze.
We opted to move locations to downtown where, miraculously, it was much cooler. That doesn't seem logical since it's all asphalt and concrete, but there it was.
Sketched downtown for the next two hours. I need to do some adjusting to those sketches. Went in the weeds with color on both of them - "boffem". Will try to fix and get posted tomorrow.
After we packed it in for the day and were driving home I realized I never did get around to peeing.
Sigh.

You had me a bit concerned for a moment there...I thought the phrase "Went in the weeds with color on both of them" was code for the solution to your urgent bladder needs. Miz Dee would not have approved, unless it was a last resort situation!
Glad you are feeling better...it was a good day for my Mom, too!
Lol. Fun post. The fieldstone might have been laborious but it makes a very pretty picture with the stained glass.
Our town is cooler than where we live and we have no asphalt and more wind. I can't figure it out either.
