but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

The Last Few Days...

Family friends visited!



We set up our test garden space. We think it gets 6 hours of sunshine...when the sun shines(:




One of the rhododendron bushes planted last year...bloomed!




Some of us had tea at Chariteas and enjoyed her flowers, too.



And I worked on the blog format a bit
read a bit
and knitted a bit
along with a bit of this and that including visiting my favorite blogs to see what is new with some of you(:
Joy!

  1. Yes! Please pray that my pulled whatever totally heals. It stopped *ouching* for a few days so I tried to do a little something and it complained again. Hope you are all mended and have a wonderful trip(: <3

    1. Thanks for your well wishes, Sarah. When the muscle/ligament started to calm down, I re-strained it [several times in the last seven weeks] because I assumed since it did not hurt it was well. The last thing I did was shove around some funiture, and adjust and vacuum a rug. Nothing hurt while I did those things, but that evening it was almost as bad as it was initially the Wed. before Easter. So now I am trying to be careful and patient(: I am grateful I can work on some fiber projects, reading and blog visiting and enjoy seeing some of the wonderful flowers around us<3

    Have a lovely day!

    1. LOL...I remember from the months I lived in San Diego and the five years I lived in San Jose, how true your experience was for me too. As I recall, in fact, I had difficulty believing it ever was winter in those two locations! <3

  6. Hello Grace you have had a lovely few days (well it sounds lovely to me) beautiful flowers in your photographs. I had a lovely weekend with my family ( last weekend) and another busy but happy week. I am sorry you are still in pain and will include you in my prayers. Tomorrow is the start of Jubilee Celebrations here and typically the weather has changed. It has been lovely but it's rained today, colder and seems pretty much the same for next few days. Feel so sorry for those who have arranged outdoor events. Take care. Anne x

  8. Gracie, what a lovely post. I enjoyed seeing how you've spent the
    last few days and I would love to visit the tea room with you sometime! I'll be praying that your pain will soon go away and you'll be "up and running" again soon.

    Blessings,
    Betsy
