Since I wrote this post, I have been giving lots of thought to the big picture of what it is that I really do want.
It changes frequently, but everytime I walk down Hollywood Ave. to the post office, I really think I know. It seems that every yard has a giant lavender bush, and each bush is always heavy with bees. They are like microclimates every 10 feet. The air is softer, sweeter and things are much buzzier. Which leads me to believe/ know that
a. I want bees
b. I want to grow lots of lavender, among other things
c. I want a house in the south of France in which to do these things
I would hold workshops 5 weeks in the year, and I would produce art all the time. I would pay someone to clean up between the workshops so I could sleep. I would also hire some trust worthy soul to tend to my beloved bees and the rest of the farm/garden while I took trips. I would also make honey lavender ice cream.
this is what I know when I walk down Hollywood Ave. So as long as I live here, and keep needing to mail things, and the weather doesn't change too much, I will continue to know these things.
I will post a picture of some bees with the lavender tomorrow.
That makes me think of bees posing with thumbs up and peace signs in front of lavender.
Also, Quilt Along post tomorrow. As it turns out, I have run myself ragged again!
