This morning I went into school at 8:30 and met with my
faculty adviser, Mrs. Williams. We
talked about creating a blog, my meeting with Gabi, and the sketches I had
completed so far. After my meeting with
her I went to Peet’s Coffee and Tea in Redmond to work on creating a blog for
an hour. Due to a doctor’s appointment I
had to take a break until 1 before I was able to work on the blog again.
Then came the sketching.
At two I went down to Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, which is about ten
minutes away from my house. Once again I
felt oblivious. Who knew such a
beautiful and peaceful place was so close to my house? I had not gone there in years (literally about
thirteen) and as I was driving down the gravel road lined with trees and a
vineyard, I fell in love. Chateau Ste.
Michelle has a classiness about it that made me feel miles away from home. I sat down on a bench in front of the main
building and sketched for about an hour.
The occasional tipsy person would walk by and keep me entertained, and I
made friends with a duck who followed me around for the time I was there.
In a place like this peaceful vineyard it was easy to see
God’s beauty as a creator in this world.
For some reason the gardens and atmosphere at this winery made me think
of the Garden of Eden. Obviously I have
no clue what it actually looks like but I imagine parts of it were similar to
the raw beauty of Chateau Ste. Michelle.
Today was honestly not very challenging.
I got to sketch at an amazing place and find some antique beauty so
close to home and I truly felt the beauty of God within me being expressed on
the pages in front of me.
