Change of Art Plans

I rinsed bottles of liquid watercolor, part of today's shed clean-out.

Run-off blotched my hands fuscia, my mind hugging memories of little boys busy with brushes.


Colorful vestiges of pre-school crafts. Back when art supplies stayed out 24-7. When art trumped almost all. Days long forgotten.

Or so I thought.


"What happened to the paint bottles?" Jamie asked tonight.

He'd apparently spied the bottles in the shed, figured them into a stay-at-home date night with Oli.



Happy with our regained usefulness, the craft corner and I yielded creative alternatives.
