rabbit warrens of fanciful whimsy...

 ten things thursday

 - it is the day after the summer solstice and i'm wearing a sweater. 63 degrees F today.

 - i bought those flowers (top photo) a week ago and they are still beautiful.  store bought will have to work until i get my own flower garden well established.

 - home grown cucumbers make great cracker substitutes for chicken salad.

 - i keep having this strange image pop into my head of something that a)would never happen and b)is utterly bizarre.  but it just keeps popping up.

 - it turns out white rice raises my blood sugar more than chocolate, cake, soda and gummies.

 - i stress sleep.

 - i had possible bad news today about an amazing opportunity, but i'm trying not to give up on it just yet.

 - it's been raining for three days. and looks to continue again tomorrow and then start back on monday. i guess it's taking the weekend off! :-)

 - working on my doomstashes is making me happy

 - falling into rabbit warrens of fanciful whimsy brings me great joy and lots of smiles.

blue and lavender...

 

i'm so in love with these blooms.  i cut back this hydrangea so much this year that i didn't expect it to bloom at all.  in fact, i was worried i'd killed it.

obviously, that didn't happen.  it has more blooms than i've ever seen on it and they range from this beautiful blue to a lovely lavender/violet.

we have storms rolling through this week and they are playing havoc with my head.  i may need to take a nap! ;-)

well, i'm still finding my way back here so this is about it for today.  i'm hoping to have some fun, exciting news to share soon. but things are still up in the air.  

anyhoo... 

hope you are having a great day!

thanks for reading

noticing...

lately i've been going back to the very beginning of a blog i love and starting to read.  i was trying to figure out how long i've been reading this particular blog (at least 13 years!) and thought i could maybe figure it out from my own blog. 

i ended up falling down the rabbit hole of reading my own blog posts from the beginning. i noticed a lot of patterns.  things i've been noticing in other areas of my life. 

the thing i noticed the most was that i really enjoyed writing and the interactions with people who commented.

so...

i'm back... :-)

how have you been?

thanks for reading...

ps...photo from my garden this year and it made me soooo happy!

 

sometimes i follow along...

how does the time go by so very quickly?  i can't believe it has been 18 days since my last post.  i did not intend to be away that long.

but, i'm here now, so...

the photo is from my painting i did with Effy Wild in her almost weekly free YouTube series "Prayers to the Moon".  sometimes i follow along and sometimes i go my own way while we paint.  i am so easily distracted that i have trouble painting along.  anywho... at least i've been painting a little. (ps...the link will take you to her youtube channel)

there hasn't been a lot happening around here this month.  mostly just trying to stick to basics and figure out a few things.  

tomorrow is the aquarius new moon, an excellent time for intention setting. it's time to figure out what intentions i want to set for the future.

anyhoo, i just wanted to say hi! 

hope you are all doing okay.

thanks for stopping in to read...

right now...

right now...

the sun is spreading that odd golden light of winter over the limbs of the trees...

i can't seem to get warm.  my fingers and toes feel chilled in the bones even though it is 60 degrees (F) outside (and 68 in my house)...

i'm spending a lot of time on zillow, dreaming of a needed change...

 

earlier today...

a neighbor asked me about my art, and i was surprised and mortified.  she asked in front of the landscaping guys and i mumbled that i pretend to be... i need to think about that reaction...

 

yesterday...

i spent time with the art witches and it felt good...

i made my usual southern new years day meal, but just for me (and a plate for my mum). and now i think i have enough food to eat for a month that i can just reheat...

 

right now...

the sun is slowly receding and the light is changing...

 

right now...

i'm sending you...
