The Sunshine Ballet...

So today, just for grins, I thought I'd post something whimsical and fun. I'm tired of the kitchen pictures making my blog look messy and untidy. That's how I am, I was born this way and I can't help it...sort of a bit OCD'ish I guess but it's really bugging me that my blog hasn't been "pretty" for the last few posts'.


Actually, I'm just tired of the whole mess in the kitchen and I have to keep reminding myself it will be worth it in the long run. However in the meantime I can't stand "messy/dirty" for too long. I get sort of disoriented and have to switch gears and go into "my fantasy and imagine mode" in my mind to get through it...

Maybe that's why I love Pinterest so much.

 
I can go into the wonderful place of imagination and stay there for hours quietly playing, lost in my own little world until somebody comes to find me...or the dinner bell rings:O)

Anyway, back to my reason for this post today...

These past few weeks have been pretty overwhelming between my messy house, where I feel like I'm camping in the Twilight Zone and work where I feel like I'm "dancing as fast as I can"...so yesterday, I just decided to relax and play. 
Partially on Pinterest and partially at home with my new Nikon D5100 the sweet hubs gave me for Christmas...

I actually went outside to capture photos of our March snow that blew in a few days ago...

But while I was standing in this very spot taking the picture above, I bumped into something behind me hanging from the eve...it was a "Wind-Spinner" my MIL gave me a few years ago. 
As I turned around to change positions, this is what I saw and this is what happened as I turned to see what was hitting me upside the head...


An opportunity presented itself and these pictures are a result of that perfect moment in time...

 She was gently dancing in the sun...

 En Pointe, spinning to the rhythm of the wind...

 To her own peaceful, beautiful ballet in the sun...
The message couldn't have clearer for me right then that I too was dancing in the 
Sunshine Ballet...

  1. What a beautiful piece of work@ It is absolutely perfect...AND PRETTY! I have never seen one like it! I know how you feel-I am the same way- I am quite a bit OCD...and like order. The sad thing is I am married to Mr..WhoWhatWhere that can never find anything nor can he put anything where it belongs so he is always wondering WHO put WHAT WHERE! It has driven me nuts from Day One. It's a good thing he has enough other fine qualities that balance things out or he'd be in big trouble! xo

    1. Ah, thank you Diane! I feel sort of "odd" because of it but at the same time it's why I'm not always looking for things:O)
      Isn't that a lovely wind spinner...my mother in law gave it to me for a birthday one year and I just love it!

  4. Yes, I have to agree the dancing wind spinner is much more beautiful and peaceful than the previous photos. Although with everything all torn apart it still looks very organized (imagine that) and tidy.

    Love and Happy Birthday!

    I'm the clean up crew! And the wind spinner was just so pretty that day, it looked a whole lot better than the ugly kitchen!
