i see: Willa sleeping. bunnies hopping. plants growing.
i taste: boston baked beans and steamed brown bread
i touch: weeds that i have pulled out of our garden
i hear: karma police, idiotech and 15 steps have been running like a sound track through my head all week.
i smell: meyer lemon blossoms… yummy.
i feel: (stealing from ani 
useful, crafty, restless, in progress…
it is not screaming beneath my skin
it squirms
the voice muffled
i catch myself asking
what was that
but nothing
and then more squirming
when i was younger
it would have spewed poetry
but she doesn’t trust that
as a mode of communication anymore
just something pretty that other people do
poetry can make a mask
for the things you want to
voice but don’t have the
courage-heart-balls-eggs- for
but still she squirms
in muffled silence
what do you want
but nothing
i see: paper and paint… i have been playing a lot this week. the words of hermann hesse- i have been sipping from his book wandering and it has been lovely. it is not a book to be read too quickly though it must be savored slowly
i hear: npr news, all things considered, fresh air and mid-day music. i soaked up npr this week and it was lovely.
i taste: margaritas and lovely mexican food-we went out for a mexican feast on thursday and it was fabulous. yum. i also taste a lovely tomato sauce i made this week that was great on pizza and will be great and pasta- it turned out lovely- i am really getting into this cooking thing. much of the fun.
i touch: a kitten- ms. willa has been very lovey this week and has spent much of the time on my lap- i have not argued one bit with her decision.
i smell: more honeysuckle this week- cardamom seeds which smell simply amazing
I have joined Shimelle and her declaration to Scrap Your Day on the 25th day of each month for one year. Tis just month one- so we shall see if I keep up, but it is looking good because I had so much fun with this. On the 25th I took the pictures and today I finisished putting them in my album.
You can see all of my pages here on Flickr.
Here is a new painting that I have just finished. You can find her here, if you feel so inclined.
Erin at Design for Mankind has done it again and published an absolutely wonderful Inspiration Zine. This is the fourth one and it is amazing. The images in this one are breathtaking- and it really challenges you to look for inspiration in a wide variety of places. You can get a copy of it for free on her site or look at it online. Wow! It is wondermous.
Every Sunday Emily records her senses from the week and now so do I.
I see: Stuff growing which makes all the gardening work seem worth it. Blue skies, wonderful goodies from Luxe in my mail box. Lots of stuff through the lens of my camera thanks to Shimelle’s Scrap Your Day Project.
I touch: dirt, dirt and more dirt. This gardening thing is a crazy amount of work… I suppose I was kinda hoping we just threw out some seeds and hoped for the best, but this is not the case.
I taste: bratwurst on the grill… yum. PG Tips Tea. Marzipan… it has been a very tasty week.
I smell: mint from the garden and lemon balm- both smell divine.
I hear: Phish… I have been listening to them a lot this week- mixed in with some Radiohead In Rainbows…. I am in love with that album….
Yesterday I documented my day through photos and when my photos come in I will scrap my day. Woot! Thank you Shimelle- twas much of the fun.
Can you see me jumping up and down- well I am , I promise.
I entered Luxe’s Simply Luxe Scavenger Hunt and I won the Lime set. How perfect and wonderful is that? I am quite pleased. Thank you Luxe! I just started playing with their stuff recently and it has been much of the fun. I can’t wait to see their new stuff. Woot!
As if I wasn’t still reeling from the fabulous “There’s No Place Like Home Class” more fun with Shimelle starts tomorrow with her Scrap Your Day Project. This is a year long project where you document your the 25th day of each month for a year. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us. WooHoo!
