Rainy Days & Mondays.....

I'm BACK! Did ya miss me?

I am participating in my first Double Monday meme's: Blue Monday and Metamorphosis Monday.

Several months ago I picked up a ton of wooden frames at the local junk store. Most were just empty picture frames that I spray painted white to go in my studio. One was a wide wood frame with a very drab picture in it. I saw potential in the frame itself. It sat for a while. Then one day while cleaning out my closet I found a watercolor painting of a local round barn. I've had this small painting for years. Like pre-children! Never had it framed. No clue why with my love of blue and old barns! I took my junk frame and the picture to Hobby Lobby; picked out a mat and here she is:
I love how the old wood looks as if it came from that very barn. A barn that I saw each day on my bus ride to high school.

Here is the before photo:

I've placed it on top of the entertainment center in my living room. I didn't snap a full photo, because I really wanted to just highlight the beautiful painting finally out of the closet.

There is so much joy to be found in the smallest things in life. A revived old picture frame with a new beginning. Days of rain, which we greatly needed. Memories of yesterday....today.
