Its raining in the garden.
A chance to look more carefully and see how last weekends new additions
(some containers of annuals)
settle into the garden.
adding color to emphasise some of the more dramatic bits |

Farmers Market Sunday
We have a new Farmers Market in our area this summer. It is small, maybe 5 or 6 stalls, totally convenient (being right down the road) and it is held on Sundays when I can get there. I like to go before I do the weekly grocery shopping. I can buy local and then get the other stuff I need in one trip. You are never sure what you will find when you get there.
This morning's haul:
English Cuke
Fresh Tomatoes!!!
Bunch of Rooted Basil
8 Perfectly Ripe Peaches
Blueberry Cinnamon Bread Croutons
Getting such beautiful food is inspiring me to try some different recipes and combinations. Today's first experiment
Plain Greek Yogurt with fresh slices of Peach, Fresh Basil, and a touch of Honey, served with Blueberry Cinnamon Bread Croutons
Lar said it was interesting which might be a positive review or might not hard to say...
Later it will be some of those tomatoes and cuke with leftover roasted corn, fresh cilantro, and diced red pepper... maybe a little red onion, it depends on what I can harvest in the fridge.
Yum!

A Magic Circle
Another reason I've been so quiet while going through this Nesting...
I'm doing a great deal of cleaning and sorting.
Not precisely fascinating reading.
I'm a bit fascinated by it though, it answers my desire to be doing something, yet leaves the creative side free to just observe.
As I sort my surroundings my brain seems to sort its space too.
It gives my creative mind some time to process/observe and opens a space for ideas to arise as they are generated by desire or intuition rather than imposed by what I think I "should" be doing.
A Magic Circle

Among the Roses
I was trimming the Monty Python Roses today. These lovelies have some serious barbs on them. Deep in the thicket I found this...
Yep another nest. Unoccupied now. A very safe place to be growing up if you are small and vulnerable.
All of the creative impulses I have been feeling this year are about nesting, creating a haven for myself.
It is a difficult process to share, its raw, hard to put into words. It is driven by old stuff; emotions, events, and unrequited needs. As I have answered the impulse it has gotten stronger, picked up speed and carried me along with it leaving little time to gather my thoughts.
I'm feeling excited and rather unsure of where it is all going. Each time I think I have just about reached the end a new possibility suggests itself to me.
