It certainly seems so. Under these buckets are three pepper plants and one tomato that my enthusiastic neighbor bought and planted in our little garden space. Alas, the pepper leaves have all dropped off leaving only bare stalks to bear this cold and the top leaves of the tomato have blackened like a face with frostbite. I fear we will have to start again, but I feel responsible for these fragile beings while they still stand.
You’re not the only one!
Treats, treats, and more treats!
Some don’t realize that hot cross buns really exist. Ta da!
…a hundred years to grow it and an hour to cut it down…
Fall wonderland…just doesn’t have that ring to it, do you think?
K arrived home for lunch and said, “You want to see what’s on the deck? It’s really big!”
We followed her and she was right.
Where was it going? From where did it come? Did it know about the snow that was coming?
We put it out in the garden. I hope it found a cozy spot…away from the pumpkins.
I went with the Art & Spirituality group to see the exhibit, 2009 Pastel Society of Colorado: Mile High National Exhibition, and found it delightful. If you haven’t been, go! It is at the Longmont Museum until 27 September.
One of our group said he found that most of the pieces were “heart-work, not head-work” suggesting that they offered something at all levels. Our discussion ranged from technique to style to color to context. Wow!
(If you have an interest in art and spirituality, we meet once a month, the second Thursday morning. Sometimes we visit exhibits together and “process them” ensemble; sometimes we share the works from within the group and offer comments; sometimes we listen to writings and talk about the words. Let me know and I’ll provide you with more information.) In the meantime, go see the pastels!!
I’m looking out my office window at a humongous spider web. Impressive in its design, it is intricate, delicate and sturdy. I took my camera out earlier this morning hoping to capture an image of it, but alas, my skills are too paltry. I spied while there, though, the web’s creator. A big, brown arachnid with legs tucked sat right in the center of its domain waiting, waiting, waiting. Now, though, it has moved on to some other venue leaving his creation to do its work. Thus far I see only a small bit of leaf blown onto the sticky net by the passing lawn mower. I feel for any creature that might find itself ensnared and yet that’s nature’s way.
Funny to think that I might have missed seeing this altogether if those incredibly fine silk threads had not caught a glimmer of the early morning sun light. It pays to watch for glimmers, but that’s another story…
I’ll keep an eye on this awesome work through the day and see what happens.
…what? Go ahead…guess!
This has to be one of the most popular places in Denver for kids…of all ages! We went again today after at least a nine year hiatus. And it was just as cool as it ever was. Have you been to visit this guy?
