Enjoying our gardens and a space to create

A strawberry patch this time of year is a thing of delicious beauty however a patch of weed strawberry not so much.  

Today I tackled the wild strawberry growing among our lavender.

Wild strawberry along the roadsides produce tiny flavourful berries that explode with strawberry goodness, our wild strawberry again not so much.

Gardening gave me a reason to say hello to neighbours, and the mailman who acknowledges me by name with a cheerful hello and “… sorry only bills today” having taken notice of the Happy Mail I receive from time to time.

In pulling the weeds it was necessary to cut some of the lavender which I carefully set aside to scent the house with.

Around 1:00 I came in and made myself a quick lunch of hummus and crackers.  

 I ate while I tea dyed paper to use in journals.

The process of dying paper is messy and enjoyable.  I love how that paper goes into the oven soft and comes out crunchy. 

Call me mad, I also enjoy ironing the paper smooth the result is an aged paper that it enjoyable to write on. 

I also brought in the lavender and some roses to create a spray of beauty on my desk.

4:00 saw me at Yin Yang yoga and tonight as I write I have very sore muscles, am looking forward to a long soak in some Epsom salts before going to bed.

After yoga I worked on the junk journal that I am making for a swap.

Thank you for coming along
