I went for a walk today...actually twice. First to go pick up a few things from the local grocery store and second to walk in the park and soak up some sun. It wasn't exactly warm...I wore a heavy sweatshirt and a winter fleece vest. But the sun was in and out and the wind was just a bit breezy. And guess what I found? Spring has sprung around here. The flowers and grass and even dandelions are all out...
Quite beautiful and refreshing after a long winter.
My wall garden is doing fairly well, I did lose the expected plant, but I have also lost two more. Most of the rest look healthy and I think will survive. I'll keep you up to date with some pictures soon. I ordered some seeds so I can plant some salad greens. Think I may need a bit more dirt, tho.
Remember this picture...
Well, I finished it and it's hanging above my sofa/bed...
The blue is a bit more aqua colored than the picture portrays, but the rest is right on. I have had fun playing around with it.
I am also working on my journal. More than half the pages are finished. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll have it finished. It's a journal for someone else to fill in with prompts on each page like 'Write a letter to yourself', or, 'Where would you like to fly?'.
Tomorrow, I will be exploring a few places in lower Manhattan as well as some thrift shops in Brooklyn. I'll be sure to take some photos to share.
There's a new Weekly Journal Prompt posted: 'Creation is the spice of life!' I really believe that. I didn't always, but then I didn't really take the time to understand that creation was part of my life.
It's only as I look back on my life that I realize that the times I enjoyed my life the most were when I was creating something. Maybe a new meal for the family. Or, composing a new song for the choir. Or, decorating for the holidays. Or, coming up with new and inexpensive gifts for the children. Or, learning a new crafting technique. Or decorating the house on a very frugal budget. Creation really was, and still is, the spice of my life. I hope that you may find it so in your life also.
Thanks for visiting...
Talk to you tomorrow...
