From My Sketchbook – 2

Early, every morning when I open our front door, this little scene greets me. Must do something about that dripping tap.

Wishing all American  sporty friends a great Super Bowl today.

    Happiness is a leaking faucet….just as you sketched it.

        I have one as well. It’s been dripping for 15 years. It stopped once, then after a day or so started again. And I thought, ‘now that’s more like it’. Besides, there are far greater things to worry about then a leaking tap.

      Perhaps that’s why I’ve left fixing it for so long. Thanks for the gift of an excuse, Carolyn

    Wow – the detail is remarkable. If I knew anything about sketching I would use appropriate words. Since I don’t, I’ll just say Gee Whiz.

    Don’t stop the dripping tap–it’s a wonderful metaphor.

      I don’t think I will Marilyn – it is a wonderful metaphor. Never saw it at the time. Thank you.

    Lovely sketch! We have one that leaks slightly when the outdoor system is turned on for the summer. The wasps collect the water off the leaves.

      I’m sure you’ll not be fixing it, Wendy – what would the wasps do?
