life of a georgia Artist

With temperatures reaching over 101 today I am reminded that Summer in Georgia is here and fierce. It tries to fry us up and spit us out. It comes in strong,then hammers us for months, and when it hits 90 daily we are happy. We are constantly trying to cool down, stay inside, find new things to do inside to keep us sane, While I am a fan of Summer this heat has me avoiding it. I am exhausted by the heat when I just walk outside. The light outside shifts from subtle, like in this picture, to so strong it could fry and egg. And I am so tempted to try that one day. All the windows remain shut. All the light stays out, I cover everything to keep the house cool, but I miss the light. I miss photographing items in the house, but even in the morning, first light is way to strong. Summer is, nor has it ever been my favorite month. I am and always shall be known as a Autumn lover.

Lines are crossed                            Love Collides hearts all a flutter,                            Deep, Deep inside. My mind spins & opens wide,                             Life is full, but yet, so empty inside. An allusion to happiness, an hour of pride.

If you have not followed my insanity about the third place let me say it is Ray Oldenburg's theory about how people need a home space, work space, and third place. The third place is a space where community come together to relax in a communal space and talk freely to whomever, to connect to society, to meet new people, and to just be.
