Flowers of the Mind

Little Leaves from vanessa samp on Vimeo.












Foxglove is one of my all time favorite flowers.  I just love the colors and tints it (digitalis aka foxglove) comes in and how the bees and hummingbirds get psyched on it.  And while I was searching the web for a shots of these beautiful flowers I started remembering what a huge role gardens and plantlife have played in my years thus far.

Above you will see my old neighbors singing songs on their porch, C and myself's very first garden together on our firescape, a succulent in bloom that was a gift from a very good friend named Ivy, my old medicinal/ herbal craftings, Enoch and his magic garden when he was 3, my most beautiful place that we've lived yet and it's colors and plants and last Enoch in one of our old gardens playing with arugula blossoms.  So much is going on right now and it's hard to think.  I have stress big time and I know it's fruitless to let it get to me so I find relief in these images.

The Wind was Laughing and It was Pretty Funny.


and then finally.



and lastly...

We made the some winter/ animal sugar cookies that I can't wait to make again.  The bottom photo is of Iris' cat cookie with only one of it's eyes.  The days are kinda running on and into one another.  It's been snowing most nights and quite chilly the last few days so I definitely need to keep busy and not go stir crazy.  We went for a ride to get out of the house this past weekend but I ended up not having our camera with us.  I took pictures with my cellphone of the adventure out.  I might post 'em we'll see.
