Rainy day and Modge Podge day

I grew up with flowers in my hair and dirt on my knees. And I still do... I do!  So you can imagine how excited my little heart is with all those big thoughts in my head of spring, and hands and feet dirty with sunshine and hair and skin tattooed in petals. But we’re not there yet are we? And thus, I must wait.

We woke up today with the sound and lushness of rain… do you like rain?

 

I must have been born on a rainy day for sure.
My soul is made of rain. 

 

 

My eyes searches the woods around our home for the sparkle of Rain’s jewels reflecting on leaves and branches as my soul awaits to discover the magic of raindrops.

Everything looks enchantingly magical when it rains… a cloudiness-like a veil of magic embraces the supple earth, and I can imagine trees and bushes and all that brush as lovely damsels of yesterdays on their way to the public bath house, with its classical columns and arches, mosaic floor and ceiling, the place where they used to go to socialize and laugh and talk about their boyfriends and gossip about their rivals, as well as getting clean.

 

Do you feel like me sometimes? 

Oh I am walking barefoot in a time full of people with fancy shoes. 

I am a gypsy soul living in the wrong time and world 

 

Oh the yellow daffodils are everywhere around here… it is surprising and almost hard to believe that this is still February and my lovely big square table is already looking lovelier adorned by daffodils right out of the garden.

 

 

Bright-sun yellow lively beautiful daffodils.  A sure sign of sprig. 

 

And did you notice something else?  Daffodils have certainly woken up my creative juices… so I got out my Modge Podge yesterday and made these cuties… rose decorated flower pots! 

 

 

Love them!  I also decorated a couple of books too... real lovely.  But I’ll show them to you later.

 

 

Earlier in the winter I bought two miniature roses, an Indian Hawthorn shrub and a Snowball azalea—leftovers from the previous summer, but they were on sale, and I was so anxious to plant that I had to get them.  Since this is just a rented home, I planted them all in large pots so that I can take them with me later when we find a home, and I’ve been taking good care of them protecting them from all that snow and cold weather.  Thus far they’re doing great.  Can hardly wait to see them bloom! 

 

Is anything blooming in your little world yet?

 

Wishing you an enchanted day wherever you are!
