Thanks everyone. I have no idea why I can be so patient with puzzles. I wish I had that focus for housework! haha I think if my legs weren't failing me, I'd be doing a lot of other things instead........but who knows.
I just love putting a beautiful image together. I guess the more beautiful the image, the harder the puzzle can be. But I'm motivated to "make" that beautiful image. I sort of live in it for awhile. I have no artistic talent, so I guess this is the closest I can get to it. haha
Sometimes I think it's more OCD than it is patience. hahaha
The "Full Moon" puzzle, with the trees WAS very hard. A few times I considered throwing it across the room, but I didn't. Some of the trees were so dark, it was hard to tell what went where. I think I tried every single puzzle piece in every single opening.
I do get a few other things done during the day! I have my puzzle table set up in the corner of our dining room, which has windows on both sides. While doing the puzzles, I get to watch squirrels, deer, chipmunks, bunnies, and all sorts of birds. I set up a couple little stands between my table and the window and have some houseplants on there. So it's a nice little corner.
