Field Trip!

This morning will be spent at the lovely Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. Current outside temperature here is 24 degrees. Heading for 34!!!

So it will be delightful to enter the warm green rooms of the Conservatory!

Usually we find a bench inside, and just sit for a while - breathing in the warm, humid air. Air in the the Upper Midwest wintertime is quite the opposite of humid. We simmer water on the stove, buy humidifiers. Otherwise we often shock ourselves or each other with static electricity. Really.

Today will be spend with green growing plants. Some tiny and hiding under others. Others towering high overhead. There will be a few birds doing what birds do, and perhaps, if we are lucky, a sloth in a tree doing...... not much. doing sloth things.

Indoors the air will be calm. Outdoors high winds are doing what high winds do. We have not lost treasured trees, but friends and relatives have.  We have a fenced backyard, so later we will be gathering things that started at one end of our yard but are now at the other end.

After the Fun, and maybe lunch?,  will come the rest of the day. Too many Priority One options. I still have problems choosing the top three to work on - commission long-ordered?, tax stuff?, definitely applying to more art festivals. Trying to learn how to Relax while doing the work.

Because I am shallow I am HAPPY that the birds and squirrels once again have more than enough sunflower seeds and suet.

So, off to Green Land and friends! Art supplies? Check. Enough money - just in case? Check. Senses of Humor and Wonder? Check.

Fare-thee-well,
Hugs to all who need them!
