Not A Creature Was Stirring except for...

Dec. 25, 2022

Today the highway was a white snowy path with ruts where the few cars dared to drive.  But- along came a buggy, and I'm guessing the horse had better traction than the cars.

STRIPS of COLOR

 Almost Christmas.  Almost the end  of this year and the beginning of the New one.

Here are some collages I made with trimmings from photo's I took at a quilt show.  I used some photo matt scraps for backgrounds, and this is what I ended up with:

The  colorful parts are glimpses of the high ceiling in the large gymnasium where a wonderful quilt show was being exhibited.  The lighting so high above created unexpected results.

Time for Purple art

 I hardly ever make purple art.  The backgrounds were made months ago (I think it was with ink) and I set them aside.  But these three pieces are finally finished.

ID this flower????

Anyone know what this plant is called?  It basically took over my flower garden.  The foliage is especially stunning this Autumn...

Peace and Tranquility

During these challenging times, it helps to be able to have a measure of peace and tranquility. This picture, taken somewhere near here, says both to me.  It's a real place.  Just green ferns, trees, and sunlight.  And if you wait long enough, you might see some deer!  Of course I was just passing through, so couldn't linger.  But, I have the picture :)

 

FOOD IS ART?

Beet Flower

 Sometimes food prompts me to grab my camera.  This beet became a flower as I peeled back the outer skin...  and then it became part of a salad.

Beets, carrot greens, kale

And this lovely leaf lettuce, picked today before our second frost hits, was the ONLY seed to grow out of what were essentially three rows planted.  Happy supper!

Lesson learned:  

throw out unused seeds, even if packets are unopened.
