Carpe Diem Cras O Mistress Mine

Carpe Diem
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O Stay and hear! your true-love's coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers' meeting----
Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty, ---
Then come kiss me, Sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
William Shakespeare

I roamed around town with my camera
relishing the sunshine as it kissed my cheek
and the aroma of sweet blossoms seduced my senses.This is the view from the car park side of Tom's Market

I roamed with my knitting and left a loving touch
on a local bench.

I picked colours that matched the blue in the window of the Laundromat and the orange of the newspaper box at the side. Nancy is going to add the textile portion with a quote carpe diem, which is exactly what I did that day.
The procrastinators version made me giggle though since I kind of relate to it a bit too well.

"Seize the day tomorrow"

Meanwhile
I have been drawing out my design for my embroidery piece in my sketchbook
I came up with a title for it
"Richard Cranium"
A little bit of wordplay there
