My first attempt at a Random Act of Art!
I'll call it a success because no one caught me placing it. I guess I was pretty stealthy since I attempted this right outside of a room filled with about 25 4-Hers and 10 parents and didn't get caught!
I have to admit, I was pretty nervous, but I felt like I was running out of options for the "Drop and Run". I felt I had made a commitment to complete this mission in a timely fashion. On Monday, I thought I might be able to do it when I ran my errands. Problem was I didn't quite think that out. I was going to the bank and post office. After further thought, I didn't think this act would be received well under camera surveillance. I imagined it going like this:
Security guards watching video feed; "What did she just do!? Did she just leave something there?" Then I take out my camera to take a picture of the RAA. Security guards; "GET HER!!"
Not that it wouldn't make interesting blog fodder, but you may not have read about it here for about 20 years or more.
Moving on, on Tuesday I thought I'd leave it somewhere at the park during my son's soccer game. Perfect! There were so many places to put it, I just couldn't decide where. Turns out I didn't need to. Soccer game cancelled due to an overly wet field. : (
Last option (in my mind): 4-H meeting place, which brings us back to the first sentence of this blog.
This Random Act of Art challenge is awesome! Bringing a fun, little surprise to someone when they unsuspectingly find it just makes me feel all happy inside. You should try this, even if you are not an artist. Leave a special little object for someone else to find to brighten their day!
This just reeminded me of something that happened to me as a child.
When I was about eight years old, I found my first sea shell. I found it by the slide in the school playground. The best part of this story, is how lucky I felt. And how happy! We don't live anywhere near the ocean! I still have that shell, as well as many, many more...
The kids and I found this Robin's egg on the drive way this morning on our way to the bus stop.
I found this hammer on the side of the rad on my walk this morning.
I found these pretty weeds this morning, too!
Have a great day!!
