T Stands for Up Early

Hi Everyone! 

I have a lot to do today, so last night I told myself I needed to get up early today. When I woke up, I didn't look at the clock. I thought it was around 6AM. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen, where the wall clock is blaring at me it's only 4AM. Uhhhgg. Hey, I told myself I wanted to get up early so here I am. LOL.

Today is T-day with Elizabeth and I am looking forward to seeing what the T-gang are up to. For me I started a painting last night. Sometimes I know what I want to create, but last night all I knew was that I wanted to paint. Ya know with NO blue. LOL
It's a WIP and I will be making some changes to the sky. Other than that I like where this is going.

As most of you know Mr. M. has a sweet tooth. Not every night but he does like something for dessert. Since our weather has gone back to it's normal cold, I bake a spice cake for Mr. M. 
Also he couldn't wait for it to cool off and frost so it is about to fall over. LOL
 
To get into the T party today here is my drink
Strawberry and Apple smoothie.
It was so good.
 


I am off to get this day started. 
Wishing all of you a wonderful day.

...the honor system about wearing a mask is a pipe dream!

Your smoothie sounds delicious , what a beautiful painting, it’s really lovely.
What a shock getting up at 4am, sometimes I wake at 5 but I always have my tea in bed before I get up.
HappyT Day

Loving your painting so far-I want to try painting again soon, I am with Debra I would love a glass of your strawberry-apple smoothie. Happy T wishes

I´m so with you!
I dreamed (twice even!) my clock went off. - went to brush my teeth etc, etc and wondered why there were no news on TV but some rubbish.
Same as you... And when I realized I was fully dressed (it was winter). And you cannot open the main door for the office before 05:45 a.m.!
Twice.

No blue here, either, all grey.
Hmmmm, that smoothie sounds like BIG yum!
Happy T-Day!

I absolutely adore your latest painting. I think it fits you so much better. Your smoothie looks SO good, but so does that spice cake. Now I'm really, really hungry. Thanks for sharing your art, your cake, and your smoothie with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nicole.

Love your beautiful painting Nicole and you are certainly mastering the clouds!! My hubby has a sweet tooth as well- so I bake a lot;) I'd prefer your smoothie, and that reminded me to get out my Nutri Bullet as I have spinach and a mango waiting . Happy T day!

Divers and Sundry said...

We like dessert at night, too, even if it's just a couple of cookies. That spice cake would make a big hit! Happy T Tuesday

Giorgio said...

I like the painting. We can see that particular color of the sky after a sand and dust storm.
Happy T-Day!


Rita said...

A serene start to the painting.
Your spice cake looks delicious! :)

Mae Travels said...

That's a beautiful spice cake. I sometimes get up for a while in the early hours, but then go back to bed.

Yum to your spice cake and smoothie. Sounds like my kind of dessert. Your painting is coming along beautifully.
Thank you for the advice about the loopers. I will look up that spray on Amazon.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

I've done that too. Want to get up early and then wake up at like 4. Of course if I managed to fall back asleep then I get groggy, so it is better just to stay up. Your spice cake looks delicious and nice painting.Hope it was a good T day Nicole.

Christine said...

Lovely WIP. Dessert looks good.

Sharon Madson said...

Lovely painting. Happy T Day!

Nicole, happy late T-day - work got in the way of me being on time. Your painting is looking fabulous! You have so much talent. My hubby has a sweet tooth too - so much so he would have waited for the icing (the best part according to him). That drink looks and sounds awesome - I have been craving a smoothie and need to get some ingredients to make one. TFS!

I love the beginning of your painting. Your smoothie is making me jealous - it's quite warm here today! We are still being very cautious - someone in our complex has Covid now (some staff members were isolating last week) You just don't know where it is!!! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx

Nicole,

Fat chance it'll cool off here anytime soon but that'll come in good time. I'll enjoy the heat even if I'm miserable. :) Your painting is looking good. I can't wait to see the finished work. Yum, that cake looks good! The smoothie looks tasty, too. Do you know, I've never had a smoothie? It's true. I need to change that, huh? :D

Lisca said...

Oh yes, I've done that too once or twice. Once I was on night duty and I slept in the day. I woke up and I looked at the clock and it showed 9 o'clock. I thought I was going to be late for work (started at 10), so I got dressed, had breakfast, only to find outside was broad daylight! It was 9 in the morning! That was a weird experience.
Your painting looks very serene. Can't tell whether it's a desert or sea.
That spice cake looks very yummy!
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
