Colors, Words, Notes

I loved yesteday's Real Simple Daily Thought from artist Joan Miró:

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.

The [good] painter is coming back today to apply some more finishing touches, and I love the colors I've chosen for the house—warm, classic, elegant.

Tonight is another rehearsal of the Brahms Requiem, so today I'll be preparing by listening to its lush notes while at work.

I continue my work on a dress for Ridley, and every time I sit at the sewing machine, I am grateful for the knowledge and skill I've amassed over 45 years of sewing.

And as I get ready to head out the door, the sun is shining. That's like music to my eyes!
