Paul is off this weekend playing golf and catching up with his college friends in Flint, MI this weekend which leaves me a weekend to play and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don’t just eat pb&j but I opt for simple meals that don’t require much prep or clean up so I can spend time doing other things. It’s nice every once and a while to have a weekend that can be like that.
I got a terrible cold a couple days after returning from quilt market that took me out for a couple of days but my energy is back and that means I’m feeling alive again. I just sound funny as the cold has settled in my chest - I’ve got that deep raspy voice.
I spent most of today working outside in the yard planting but have been chased inside by a passing thunderstorm. I’ll have to take pictures and post in the next several days so you can see my handiwork. All week I had thought I’d spend today in the studio painting but there is something I find renewing about working in the dirt. As I place each plant and cover it with dirt - I feel my creative self being reseeded with lots of new energy and potential. I have always thought of my creativity as…well, kind of like a plant. The seeds are sewn, lie dormant until the right combination of nurturing elements are present where they then sprout and grow into something unique and wonderful. I’m continually collecting the seeds but never know when conditions will be right for them to sprout and what direction the ideas will take as they develop.
Well the sun is out and I’m on my way back out to continue renewing my spirit.
Happy weekend to you all.
