It is THURSDAY AGAIN.
Where did the days and nights of the last week go?
I dream of being "Caught Up." Of having tasks finished, for the moment, and having a lovely stretch of TIME straight ahead, to be used in a joyful and relaxed manner.
Scurry. Scurry. All the doings, walkings, writings, plantings, paintings, and yet there are still art festivals to pay fees for, pastels and oil paintings to finish and frame. Deadlines are looming!!!
But.... there are also that pile of books to read, that Bill Bryson audio book to sneak in a listen, maybe do a little book-keeping? (hahahahaha)
Not Bitching. We are blessed with being to do what we love doing - as a living.
But the layers of Living can be a bit overwhelming, even when one loves all the layers.

This Spring it appears that the Lupine will be lovely.
The ferns and Bleeding Heart and sedum are flourishing.
The iris... look iffy for the first time ever.

Most of the vegetable garden is planted. Playing with climbing beans and squash for the first time. And have been transplanting the sunflower seeds that the squirrels planted for us. Always find a row's worth in the lawn and flower beds. Thanks, squirrels, for giving these seeds a few weeks head-start on the other sunflowers!
****************
Pals have been giving me suggestions for seed and plant catalogs for next year's growings. Time to find the garden journal and write down the various sources. I very rarely buy seeds or plants other than from local spots - but there is "always" next year. One hopes that there is always a net year. It is one thing that keeps a gardener going!

Now it is back to work at filling wholesale orders, and finding inspiration in playing with gouache and crumpled and torn pieces of watercolor paper. Work and Play. Play and Work. The teeter totter of life.

Next Time: HOPSCOTCH - or Wow, I Didn't Know Kids Could Dream So Big!
Fare-thee-well,

P.S.: Our first outdoor art fair of the season will be the first weekend in June. In Stillwater, Minnesota. Of course I'm not ready!

Keep Working Toward Your Dreams!!
