Kisses into white

This morning is one of those lovely mornings that I have named my life after.It is a beautiful nimbostratus morning. Just out my window I see the boughs of rhododendrons hanging low, and a cedar with leaves that look black instead of green. Across the road, the neighbors fence becomes faint in the white that moves out beyond it into a land of sheer mystery, where only sound can reach ones senses, that of an occasional ferry sounding the fog horn. Senses deprived of stimuli; imagination becomes rich with feeling, sensual delight. Like a lover with cool lips who has been out all night in the cold and has come to visit and kiss me all over my face with his affection, and warm his lips upon me.

Potters and gardens

Last summer I visited the studio home of Robin Hopper and Judi Dylle, both well known potters, who make their home near Victoria BC. I enjoyed walking through their gardens and spending time in the studio then gallery deciding on a pot or 2 to buy. It was a tough decision, but I decided to buy one of each including a few small pieces made by their charming and talented young Granddaughter. I found this articel about their garden in a publication, and now online. Take a peek at what they have to offer, and if you are over that way, take a look.

If you take a look at their pottery, you will see why it was so hard deciding what to purchase.

Curly leafy dichondra seed for a fun house plant

I came home last night from my visit to see Kimmy, with this small growing art work, grass planted in those glass rectangular dishes restaurants use for packages of sugar, and a rectangular glass plate to set them in. I was thinking how nice dichondra would look planted in some of Kim's glass gardens, so I made a search for Dichondra, and it's seed

Also rumor has it that Bill Moyers is challenging Americans to not spend one dime on Inaugration day in protest of the war, boycotting all spending on that day. It would be a good meter to see if we the people have any power at all, if we have any, it would be economic! Try it! While this may be only an urban legend, what if we learn something from it, like we do have some power? Wouldn't it be worth the experiment? I think so! If we learned that by eating beans for a month of Sundays, or not buying any new clothes for a month would get the attention of an inattentive government, wouldn't it be well worth the try? No protests with police shooting college kids, just stop spending a bit, who couldn't manage that? Opinions anyone?

Never too late?

One short note before bed. This is about my beginnings, and I hope it rings a bell with somebody. Back in PA when I was a little little girl playing cowboys and Indians, I remember now, that I was prone to faint, ( as cowgirls on tv did) and fall to the ground, hand over my head, palm up. I remember kids standing over me, girls that knew about this fainting, and boys who said,” What happened?” The girls replying, “Oh, she fainted.”

My my, the joys of childhood, any other fainters out there? I was also responsible for butter and brown sugar sandwiches for all the kids. And... I made maple leaf and lilac corsages and sold them door to door for a nickel when I was 5. MY first great idea. It all began then...or maybe that is when it all ended? Maybe, just maybe, unlike Jimmy Stewart, and Henry Fonda, who apparently continued with their cowboy playing, as actors, I failed to acknowledge my budding talents as a drama queen..or else, maybe it was moving to Texas that was responsible...learning too soon there weren't really any cowboys and Indians fighting it out in the wild west. Yes, I think that was what stunted my acting career! They say it is never too late!
