That Sad Fire on the Uncompaghre Plateau—-September 19, 2018

And so it still burns….on and on, consuming everything in its path.

Sigh!

We are in the process of winding things down on the farm.  There is still much to be done, things to do and stuff to finish.

The last crop to harvest will be the corn…but that is weeks ahead yet.

But in my spare time, I’m still making crepe paper flowers

Fun little whimseys that have no real earthly use

But that is okay….it gives me something to think about

Which is totally useless and therefore,

Relaxing.

Relaxing is a good thing!!

Taking a Time for Myself—-Sunday, August 5, 2018

I’ve been taking a few minutes around four in the afternoon to do something rather enjoyable

It’s nothing spectacular, or show-stopping

I’ve challenged myself to ‘not get obsessed’, to work in stages and enjoy the process and the colors more than getting one done and moving on to another so I can make something of the creations.

I am working on creating crepe-paper flowers.

This a real flower.  My crepe-paper flowers have a long way to go before they really do start looking like real flowers.

That’s okay.  I’m enjoying myself, it’s a tiny break in the day, and there really is nothing I can do with them anyway but look at them.
