I worked all morning today marking, and when I was done we rewarded
ourselves with a drive into the country. I have hardly been out of
my house this summer except to go shopping for groceries, and for the
odd walk -- so to see the fields and woods, and glorious clouds was
incredibly exciting.

We sat very social distanced away from good friends at the end of
our journey, and they fed us a delicious dinner.  Amazing, and we
were so grateful.

I felt the strong pull of our Nova Scotia summer trip -- our other
home as we drove along, marvelling at everything, and singing.
It was the perfect reward for the hard part of the day (marking),
and I came home and painted in the studio.  Happily.
