Gratitude Junk Journal Day Two

 Here's my journal spread for day 2 of the Gratitude Junk Journal course. The theme was to journal about something you've been grateful for during the pandemic. Our early morning walks are definitely a highlight of our day.

I'm linking my bird art to Wendy's Birds theme at Art Journal Journey, and Leah's Art Every Day Month  Day 4.

Here are a few photos that I took this morning. It was the first heavy frost we've seen, and there was a beautiful mist over the little lake on the golf course.


Can you see that little white dot that's the moon? 






There's still a lot of apples lying around. The golf course used to be a pick your own farm.



Me doing a spot of bird-watching.



And finally, a photo of yesterday's reunion with our darling daughter.


I hope you're all keeping safe and well.
