Another Improv stripe experiment. Same solids....different striped fabric and a little different approach. LOVE that really skinny wonky stripe.
"No matter what obstacles we face, the season we are in will eventually unfold into new ones, and year after year we bloom. We become something new."
Wise words from a blog post by Morgan Harper Nichols: Reflecting on a Conversation With Olivia Lin. "In order to plant something new, perhaps what truly matters is that we learn to cultivate joy in the process. We learn to embrace that through all the unknowns that come along with newness, there is room to practice. There is room to cycle our way through the process of trying and creating. We don't have to figure it all at once and we are free to find joy on the journey while practicing."
In this blog post Morgan used the flowers of May to reflect on things like confidence, success, and authenticity...and of course JOY. It was a beautiful post and I highly recommend it.

"Keep planting and sowing, living and knowing...beautiful things take time, and that is okay."

I spent a good chunk of the day in the gardens. Weeding, edging, and mulching in my own...and helping my neighbor Sandy get hers all weeded and tweaked. Almost all of these plants came from my garden in Lexington a few years ago....and they're thriving. Hosta and other perennials just keep giving. Sandy adds a few annuals along the edge for color every year....she loves her garden!
I don't show this garden very often....it's not one that got attention today. Not that long ago it was a scruffy mess at the end of the rock wall and now it's staring to look like something....still a little wild...but much more interesting than it was. I love this little cluster of skinny trees....and the driftwood slab that Jolee found on the beach is the perfect accent.
