September 1 feels like New Year's Day

I'm posting this drawing, because other than writing my blog and my
Instagram posts, this is a day off.  September feels brand new.  So I'm

thinking of what I'd like to do in a dreamy way.  I'd love to show in 
New York once the American election is over, provided Trump doesn't
win.  I love the city, and this drawing sums up the happy feeling I get there
perfectly.

Plus of course I want to go back to Paris.  As for today we had a super
time hanging out on our sunny back porch with the animals (2 cats and
a dog), talking to neighbours, getting some groceries, and then going
for a beautiful walk to find the source of some great music that was 
energizing the neighbourhood.  A decent length walk got us to the party.
Amazing music to celebrate a fellow's birthday.  Lucky man. We
sent him our birthday wishes through another guest, then walked 
around the block so we could hear the music full strength again
from the next street. Awesome.

Happy long weekend.

Have a loving your life day.
