A Empty Day.


The day has been a somber one. I am pretending it is raining outside, even though the sun is shining. Nothing to do in the garden, less and less to dead head every day.Picked all the yellow beans yesterday, the zucchini is still growing, picked a few today. Now just letting things go on there own.

Thinking on the next project to start...I don't know what to do? Books, socks, dolls,paper mache' boxes, ornaments,magnets,and the cookbook that needs to be organized? I guess just pick one and get it done. It is the starting of projects that is the most difficult, but once that hurdle is crossed, I am gun ho! I need to find out if you can dry Cosmo flowers. or just the petals, by pressing them, I have a ton of pressed flowers on the back shelf. Gotta do something with them... That is my problem, I have so many projects to do, the materials to do them, stupid of me to find that a problem! The only real problem I have is my ability to manage time! I have this bad habit of always thinking that there is all the time in the world.

I have my photography book to study. I need to learn the technical side of using my digital camera. I know I can get much better pictures if I knew what I was doing! I am seeing some beautiful pictures taken with simple digital like mine, practice makes perfect. I found a great issue of Digital Photography that has my camera as an example, everything about it, and editing software that is free and used by professionals. I need to go on a journey of some sort, so I guess I have chosen photography. Learn all I can, and start taking better photo's.

I guess it is time to get things done in the real world. Do the majority of people still live in the real world?

Or, do they live in the world they created for themselves on this machine?

A Perfect Day

Image
It is foggy and dark outside. A perfect day to let the mind wander. It is a full day of Julia Child today, that's been fun this morning. I will get to the movie, maybe this week. Julie & Julia I think it's called. But I learned the secret of popovers! You learn something new everyday. Don't use a pan, use separate custard cups, leaving room between them for the heat to circle, and that is what will make them really pop up. I think I will make some on Monday, I will be home for dinner, so I will make popovers and a shrimp salad. I will be able to use fresh peas. And I am making pesto, Have everything I need, think I will freeze in ice cube trays, then use when needed. And If I want fresh pesto, I only need to buy a container of basil, add a few ice cubes, made it stretch. Pick Sage to dry also, and I have a sage that is getting crowded out, gonna have to move that baby to it's own pot. And with this rain, weeds are growing again. I am hoping Monday is a sunny hot day
