Time swift and rushing past.

No time to write really - not enough time to paint. I would like to do that all the time, but other things call on my time. Time to mow grass for the first time this year. Time to gather all the winter debris and make a new fire (so I don't risk roasting the blackbird and other fellows who are using my big pyre to shelter and nest in.) Time for a cup or coffee and reflect on other things I should be doing with my time.

Time to go back into the studio and continue painting. With time to spare to take the dogs for a walk before it is time to go to Kemnay to help with the film night.

All in all its a fine time, as long as I don't get worried by the speed time is passing.
