Someone recently remarked that it was a wonder that I was able to handle what has gone on in my personal life for what is now a complete 12 month time frame and I answered that all I knew was, when the Powers That Be finally let go of the back of my shirt, I will be propelled forward like whodathunk. The Guest House/studio had her final inspection today and rumor has it that there will be no more tool belts as of Wednesday.

What happens when the gale force winds, the ones that have forced me to walk at an angle, stop blowing all of a sudden? I fall down. You know what happens when I fall down on a day like today? I look around to see what is wee and blooming and interesting enough to distract me with my camera, instead of pushing back to go create something. I have decided to see what surprises Mother Nature has for me, here in my new environment.

This morning, when our foreman looked around me and said, "OH! I guess that someone has a green thumb", I thought about my beloved gardens back in Lafayette and told him that I spent 25 years turning THAT clay into a garden and I guessed that I could do it here. I just have to be realistic and had to see things through the winter, since gardening up here is like being on another planet. I welcome this beautiful thing to my garden, even if she lives in a pot, so that I can have her alive next year. She is calling me to my dyes and yes, there will be such a Columbine...how could there not?

Last, but not least, I got a frying pan message upside my weary head this morning..."no matter how pretty the Plumdinger colorway is, Lisa, I am sick of looking at your TOE. Where are the NEW COLORS"???

Thank you, my toes is doing better, albeit still a bit colorful and YES, I can show you a couple of new colors, both of which are on Superwash Merino top, which takes color in a BAM sort of way.

Evah-glade and Graphite.

I love how the tree burl looks like a frog. I like the colorways too and can't wait for the columbine. But that frog effect just makes me laugh.

Wow, Columbine will be gorgeous!

You're a force of nature. I'm not surprised at all that you're still standing because I've always felt since first meeting you that you're Mother Nature incarnate. The energizer bunny of creativity. The gal who could make a sailor blush if she wanted to.

You may be photographing things close to the ground at the moment but you're going to be back to your usual aerial photography by the end of the week.

May I have some angora fur now? Please?
