Colorful Distraction

Today I felt colorful.
I decided my mood was purple.

I decided we needed a welcome mat.
Now we won't forget which house is ours.
Mowgli felt colorful too. I don't think he is color blind.
He thought the blue chalk tasted best.
I got real hot and real dirty out in the sun.
I met my next door neighbor for the first time.
I think I confused her.

She wanted to know what I was doing outside,
alone
in a dress
with sidewalk chalk.
I was just having fun, 
taking a break,
with dirty knees and goofy grins.
Just hanging out in the light with bright red lips.

I didn't feel like photoshopping all my freckles out.
I didn't feel like doing my hair either.

I get distracted easily.
I have a short attention span.
It keeps life interesting and fun.
So I don't mind it too much.

Although it looks like I will be taking my knitting to the movie theater tonight.
Awesome.

  1. Wow.
    Really, wow.
    You look absolutely gorgeous with the red lips, freckles, and wavy hair.

    I love it so much more, in my humble opinion. I like that it's more natural.

    I also love playing with chalk, and always will. Age can't change that!
