Waiting for Monsoon

It is still very hot here and we are still waiting for monsoon season to get going. We had a bit of rain the other day. Enough to make a puddle. Yes, that is how we know it rains here. We find a puddle. Not kidding. So summers here are so hot that I really cannot go out during the day. I get up really early and ride my bike from 6am to 7am. Then I am in for the duration. In the evening I go swimming around 6:30. As long as no one is in the pool I enjoy it. I don't like swimming with too many people in the pool as it is a small pool and gets crowded quickly. But there aren't that many people here at this time of the year so it is usually empty at dinner time. So being inside all day happens to be good for my art. There is no distraction as far as going outside so all I do is paint. I am really loving being back into watercolors again. It was my very first medium and after trying a host of other materials, I feel like I have come back to what I really love. Watercolor.
