Garden delight!


Working with dirt is quite creative. This media is often overlooked! Take the pretty plant on the left. It is catnip. By itself, it is beautiful, but surrounded by nourishing water, it becomes a map of France, with the plant smack dab in the middle where Orleans, Bourges, and the Loire River intersect. Bet you didn't see that! All done with a little bit of water (and bon chance!) The lettuce on the right produced part of our dinner last night. Yum yum! Now that's getting those creative juices flowing! Bon Appetite!

My crazy creativity!

Not everyone creates the same. I am a work in progress, therefore, I dabble in many things. Maybe I'm trying to find myself in the process. I'm not sure, but I'm having fun! Some days I want to sew, some I want to write, even I don't know what I will do on any given day until my muse whispers in my ear. Of late, I have been in survival mode, recuperation from surgery on my shoulder. I take that as a hint to slow down, think of what just a walk will do for my psyche. I am learning to find time to do...nothing. Meanwhile, if the urge to create comes to me, I act on it. I am so lucky to be able to wait, look, listen, then create, or not.
