Nothing like a little compulsive shopping to take the edge off.... here is a resulting object of last week/month's emotional jag - an Hermes silk scarf (with British heraldry). Today feels like spring, smells like pooh, must be a duck, er maybe this means no more snow?! I have about five minutes inpiration/perspiration in me to work in the garden, and lose the stack of winter tires that's been sitting in the middle of gentle flower bed for a year.... maybe I'll still have juice for my little piece of meditative foliage after I've wheeled the tires to the curb. After this, I'll knit on my front veranda contemplating all the garbage that the snow so graciously hid during the winter, greet the neighbours who have been largely unrecognizeable in their cold weather layers, and take a little sun on the face....here we go.
