I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day…

This has been a gray, gloomy day, but am I gray and gloomy? Well, may be a little bit gray, but certainly not gloomy.

Blessed rain is falling, all day long.

I’ve got sunshine in my soul today  (yes, I do!!) and I have these suns to remind me in case I forget…

This one, which I bought for next to nothing at a huge pottery outlet near the home place when we were visiting my family in California. 






It reminds me of the actor Dustin Hoffman.

And then there is this one, which I bought at a junk shop outside of Eureka Springs a couple of weeks ago.




It caught my eye, hanging outside with a jumble of other dangly things as we were pulling out of the parking lot. I told him to stop. So he did. I hopped out and looked at the price on the back, and I bought it.

I am not very comfortable spending money on souvenirs, but I am happy to have these hanging around….

You've had better luck with your suns then I did. My first one I bought at Garden Ridge pottery and hung it high on over the garage door. One day the wind was blowing hard and the door slammed and sun fell and broke into a million pieces. Of course I replace it and someone stole it. They had to have driven up to the garage and stood on the cab to reach it so I decided I didn't want to hurt anymore suns but I'm happy you have your's.

I have a little golden plaster sun hanging in my kitchen and it cheers me on gloomy days too.
