Do you long for remarkably amazing people around you?
This week...I've realised what a busy life I have? and the fantastic people I have around me, with all their talents!
They inspire me! BUT, you've got to be YOU
This is me...just being the truth or reality of who I am?
We made a tipi out of canes and a couple of flat white sheets! and sat in it, happy, just looking out across the garden of flowers, sometimes you just need more green!
Saw another collection of bees, this time around 200, settling on some yellow flowers many folks are seeding into their lawns, though we havnt seen loads of insects in our garden, thankfully, mum and dad blackbird have been scouring and helping eradicate veg beds of delicious slugs or worms, and many birds and ladybirds, from the Alder providing blackfly, so we do have some sort of eco system happening here!
We've also let another patch loose to do it's own thing, that's where we put our slugs, lol but will plant some wild flower seeds for next spring? hopefully
We ate some delicious new potatoes with butter on last night, nothing quite like them! And the salad leaves are brilliant, good job! as soon as I look at a supermarket salad bag it starts to go off on one of its own, I can't stand waste!
My cucumbers failed, but a few tomatoes are here awaiting redness, and beans are flowering, oh and strawberries! - not as much veg as last year, but enough so it didn't feel too much for me to be 'accountable' for? I mean all the lengths we go to for gardening?
'And then theres my thing'
Just realised, that there's so many processes to making music, I need to wear so many hats, jumping from one to the other? It's no wonder I'm dizzy with 'now let's remember again what I do with this...'
I won't bore you with the details, it's like anything we do, from the beginning through to the 'work' shiny, new in its creation
Each one of these process's is 'something to master?'
Its fine if you're doing one thing for a while? but try jumping to each every few months or years? it changes the dynamic slightly? lol...
Thing is, I create for creative, love, need, expression, and because I just have to!
It's who I am, who I've always been, and if someone else enjoys it? Then I'm so grateful? but, I'm never going to jump on, I must do this, that or the other to please anyone in particular other than myself?
Who are you?
Then add...
All your loves of life, there has to be a balance right?
I began making my own bread from the best organic flour in the uk! got it to a tee now and it's gorgeous! Finally listening to myself saying to my son, I'm not allergic to flour, just the pesticides they spray on it! And the 'Free from' muck of a loaf that tastes like nothing and crazily expensive - GONE - actually, I've still a loaf left but it lasts for ever, I wonder if it has pesticides on it? lol
Kneeding bread is also good therapy for a whole 10 minutes I've found for anything that irks you!
Oh did I tell you about my David Austin roses to scent the delicate fragrance of my garden? thinking of making some rose water from lovely greens she's brilliant, so many amazing ideas. https://lovelygreens.com/
I've included a moody dusk pic of the garden, I like this sort of romantic, grainy light?
This is like an exract of my head, my people, my family! and they come first, always!
What about you?
Who are you?
What is in your head today and most days?
What is your truth?
Wonderful article .
