Happy St. Patrick's Day

The only image I had that was GREEN.  Winter creeper.  It's sold as an annual to "spill" over the sides of ornamental summer containers.  I find it has a zone number of 3 and overwinters in my garden beds here in Maine just fine.  Each year I add three more to the ones I have, using it as a ground cover that is pretty gorgeous with pink, blue or white flowers.  I love the lime green yellow combo.

I finished my huge Tombland book yesterday and then watched the ridiculous Crossword Mystery on Hallmark.  Local PBS is still "fundraising"--I think it's been three weeks.  PBS is my Sunday evening go-to. My husband has been playing word search games on his phone and the computer so I am left to entertain myself with Hallmark.

And it's a "good thing" I finished that huge book because week four in the Artist's Way is "no reading" week.  No reading anything- not even the Artist's Way book.  I am supposed to find other ways to spend the time I would use reading.  Find a new hobby (but not read how to do it), clean out a closet, cook (but I guess not read a recipe card) etc.  No reading.  Not reading the morning paper will be hard and I think-literally-reading blog posts is also going to be off limits.  Writing them?  I don't know since I am reading it as I write it.  I may have to take a leave of absence until next Monday.  Morning Pages are still on--as I have NEVER read any of the pages I have written.  The upside to this--I also will NOT be able to our taxes next week.

We drifted off to Goodwill today, sort of late--I returned two of the shirts I purchased on my day out with my daughter.  One didn't fit the way I like things to fit and the other just wasn't attractive on me.  Found a pair of cropped rosy pink linen LLBean pants in my size today.  Hardly worn.  Had the marks on the labels meaning they were from the Bean Employee Store, were older- not the new cheap linen Bean is using now. I checked to see if both legs were the same length.  That happens at Bean more than they will admit.  No white linen camp shirts.  I had asked the Universe for some.

So--don't get upset when I do not post this coming week.  I am not sick or anything like that.  I am just not "reading" and I'll be teaching a class tomorrow and then I might actually start some seeds for my garden, clean out a few closets, listen to some music and probably do some sewing.

Really, really happy to not have to do the taxes this coming week.  yippee.

I actually CAN write but I cannot read your comments or your blog posts etc.  But I can write. So, I will if it feels like I have something to say.  No television.  No one else's words.  No radio. No Movies.  Nothing.  A walk.  Handwashing dishes.  Going out for lunch.  Ironing.  Painting or Drawing.  Tomorrow I will be talking.  Sigh.  Teaching a Class.  Not reading my notes.
