The Storm was wild, but not here. A bit of wind, distant thunder, and then a slow cooling drizzle all night. It was close to 90 yesterday, almost a 30 degree climb from the day before. Power is out for some folks I hear, but not here. Things are growing and it is all very calming. The mustard greens were glistening this morning, must have grown 3" overnight. These are in the deck planter, which can feed us really. There is a staging process for greens. Cut them young for mildness and let them grow back. Also seed in between the rows to keep them coming. Apparently the deer aren't much interested in them, growing a lot of smelly stuff is my best bet. I will try some down below in the raised beds and see what happens.
The cloth called GROW is a kind of teaching cloth for me somehow. First off because it has brought the joy back to me after a few low months. Maybe that would be the first thing I would like to say if I was planning to say stuff. Do what you love or love what you do. Share the joy with others. The joy that actually comes from you is the seed. I found my starting point.
I had grown bored with my stitching project and had set it aside. I finally was able to return to the clay studio at my community art center and something about playing with the clay again renewed my interest in my stitching project. My conclusion…my “creative” well was just bone dry after so much time in the same physical environment and so little outside interaction unrelated to work. Even a small change in routine can help refill it. I’m so glad you found renewed interest in GROW!
Yes. We need flow, one thing leads to another.
always we begin again …
With history
It’s that green growing magic time. You’ve caught it in Grow. I agree about joy. 🙂 It’s meant to be shared.
it really fills you, the green, like joy.
When we had a bigger garden, farther from the house, we planted oregano all around it to keep the deer out. It worked. And because the area was so open, the rabbits were kept away by fear of hawks during the day and owls at night. Not as successful close to the house.
Yes, oregano is working, got a ring of that and a ring of garlic. Amazingly, no rabbits here. Yet.
the quickening of spring!
Its bursting here. We are in for some cold rain tho….
I love the magic of sunlight through green growing leaves. The way the darker parts of the new center show up when backed by light. Today in these pics, light be the seed 🙂 Thanks Jude.
There are so many kinds
Share the JOY! The seed that grows from you!
A wonderful reminder! Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
Seeds, gonna plant some.
love, the true center. birthing joy, a seed planted in the lives of others. bringing strength to create. and recreate. this cloth and post radiate outward in all directions. a spirit song of celebration. x
Joyful YES! to this Sharon … thanks for the description of this post.
Kind of like the pollen here at the moment…
Have you read Ross Gray’s book–The Book Of Delights??? It is about spreading joy every day–in small delights.
Heard of it but not read it.
I heard an interview with him on PBS. Delightful man. The book is daily essays – very short–but worth having .
Good!
Yes!
Yay! 💙
