It has been awhile

So for whatever reason I have been rather uninspired to write here for a number of months. I think for many people uncertainty is a thing that spurs innovation but for me it causes a very distinct circling of my mental wagons where I'm very conservative with my mental energy. That being said I feel like I should be documenting at least a few things outside of Facebook for the sake of posterity. I've been keeping a written journal of my weekend meandering since January and think that I'll transcribe that onto the blog along with my knitting.

Geppetto and Elias.

Rib our tummies. Now.

Spices

It has been forever since I have blogged. I blame facebook. I had all but run out of spices and so needed to place a big order. Here is my spicy bounty.

Elias in the lilies.

Lotuses and Lilies

On Friday I went with Dave to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.

They were founded after the Civil War by a one armed veteran who planted acres and acres of water lilies and lotuses in ponds.

I really enjoyed the lotuses as you see them so rarely.

When the light hits them they practically glow. We got there early in the morning when the lotuses were completely open and there were still drops of dew collected in the giant leaves.
