Cleaners day today meant I stayed out of their way, at the local library. There was a new puzzle tipped out of the box, so I organized it and started the edges.
A while later, another person came and continued that bottom section.
The gallery is packed with youth art from the school district, a dazzling three walls full of energy and some talent.
And I fell for a couple of pieces, one high school painting, one first grader's foam block printing a la Warhol.
This is an annual event, and I always look forward to it. We have a great art faculty in our school system, as you see. Their ideas are great. Everything from image transfer to portraiture to drawing to paperweaving to printmaking to abstract expression, realism, many approaches.
At home nature's on a roll. The cotton seeds are germinating. Yesterday a tiny shoot, today a leaf opening, amazing speed.
The friend who gave me the bolls told me they germinate like an earthquake, and she wasn't kidding. You can almost watch it. Between breakfast and lunch, two more shoots appeared.
When the weather's warmer, I'll plant them outside because they'll quickly outgrow the starter pot.
Outside the spicebush is in full bloom, and the bees are at work.
