When I woke up and went out on the balcony with my morning coffee, I looked up and saw this…<\/p>\n

\"foto-donkerelucht\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and a haiku came to me (I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart<\/a> – Hi Rebecca, hello there haiku-sweeties, long time no see!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mishandelde lucht
\n(opgejaagd, blauwe plekken)
\nhuilt aan \u00e9\u00e9n stuk door<\/td>\n		<\/td>\nTortured sky above
\n(hunted, beaten, bruised)
\nceaselessly sheds tears<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

See those blue spots between the dark clouds? A prelude to better weather. Five minutes later, the storm was all gone and the sky was blue again. “Skies are black and blue…”‘ a verse from a song that Dutch readers may now have in mind: “Calm After the Storm<\/a>” (a song by the Common Linnets that\u00a0 reached second place in the final of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.)<\/p>\n

I’m glad that the weather changed and that the temperature dropped from a “tropical 30\u00b0C -or-more” (86\u00b0F) ” to “Summer-normal 22\u00b0C”\u00a0 (72\u00b0F) After weeks of laziness, crocheting and watching Tour de France I am now loaded and full of energy to dive into my atelier, create and make plans for Autumn. I might start blogging on a more regular base too (that is, when there’s not another heat wave coming…)<\/p>\n

Well, this blogpost is a start! And since this blog is mostly about my art journal adventures, here’s also an art journal spread from the “Grandes Chaleurs” art journal.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a nice weekend and remember: Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
