We started our 4th of July celebration with a red, white, and blueberry delicious breakfast, enjoyed of course, outside in the yard. These things just seem to happen. I’m making breakfast, and Mike casually says something like ‘If you add some bananas and blueberries to the watermelon you’re cutting up, bet you could make it look like the 4th of July’. Next thing you know, this happens…
Then this…
And eventually, this…
My life is like that. I plan short, sweet, simple. I’m not good at short, sweet, simple.
Breakfast turns into a photo shoot with Mike, Regine, and I transporting the masterpieces to the table, and Kevin putting in a command performance as the photographer.
Or I go to a flower show at Mike’s urging and we have to move to a house with a bigger yard for me to garden in.
Then there is the mosaic. You’ve seen the mosaic. The garden and garden gate has become my signature, gracing the front page of this blog. Lynn thought we should take a mosaic class. I did. Others made a tray or trivet. Mine, 3′ x 8′ on the kitchen wall.
I just love it when ideas fall out of my head (even if someone else officially plants them there) and they land on fertile ground!
