   ...April showers bring May flowers...As I looked down at the bricks of the walkway of my kitchen doo, I spotted an independent chervil plant growing in triumph over its surrounding conditions.  Must transplant that little trooper!  It had goten warm enough that I took some of my hoisebound herb plants to stay outdoors finally.  I was sure that it was finally spring as I found myself wanting to paint something.  After seeing a special aqua-colored cache pot on the cover of a gardening magazine, I decided to paint one of my terra cotta pots with the yummy aqua paint I "just happened" to have on hand.  Does that surprise any of us?

Sacred Space and the Wooly Bear Caterpiller...

    ...Stepping into October, I have been outdoors as much as weather will permit.  This weekend has been absolutely gorgeous with cool temps and warm sun, breezy with lots of blue skies with playful clouds that provide plenty of room for the imagination to make fun creations from the fluffy forms.  I love Ohio in the fall.  How did I spend the weekend?  Art shows and outdoor festivals were my cup of tea.  To no avail I tried to get various friends to join me.  Don't they get it, it's time to play outside before the cold and wet and snows drive everyone inside for the winter.       I saw a wooly bear caterpillar in my garden by the walkway.  For those who know how to read their wooly bears, the body was tipped with black while the main center body was reddish brown.  So goes the 2012 winter prognostication!        My best reward of the day was when I noticed a little spot in my...

    ...The air was warm and inviting.  Colors of gold and orange blazoned everywhere.  Loading up all the essential equipment to help me to immerse myself into the hiking experience, I set out for Silver Creek Park.  It was a trail I had not walked in many years.  Too many of my hiking friends now no longer could make the trek, but I was determined to experience that trail  more time.  For the first time in years I dug out my walking staff to help me along the way.  Strapping my fanny pack around my middle I now had some inspirational music to listen to as I walked along taking in all the sensory experiences of the trail.  The sun was bright, the air was clear.  It was peak weekend for the fall foliage and there were many families taking advantage of this season of leaf peeping.      Armed with my trusty camera I walked with a slower pace than others around me as I stopped fr...

Racing to the Holidays...

Beaver contemplating the Beaver Moon Rosemary blossoms          ...Looking as though someone had shaken a giant snow globe, the Magic City was experiencing its first squall of the winter season.  At least it wasn't brutally cold.  This is the kind of snow that makes it fun to take a walk.  It has been ever so amusing to watch my newest kitty, Midnight, getting so excited about those white things flying around outside.  Her inky little nose has been pressed against my windows all morning.  Occasionally she tries to touch the active flakes through the glass.  This is her first experience with snow and she is utterly fascinated by the white wonders.  My other two fur babies couldn't care less about the snow event and are participating in their morning snooze event instead.             Strains of holiday music filled the day as we are hardly half way through November.  My ...
