Daily Notes- January 30

                                       

Today's Collage Prompt: A heartfelt offering to our glorious Earth Mother Gaia.

I am sending her a heartfelt sympathy card.  And I nearly covered all the images in pastels.  They were too shiny.  And I wanted a non shiny look here and tried to match the colors of the paper images (which cover the entire page) as closely as possible so it remained a "collage".  I really like the way the top third turned out. Love Gaia's hair. And I like the lower left corner.  Want to do more of that.

This is how I feel about Earth.   Even with all the harmful things going on- it's still blue. Still trying to heal itself.  And I feel like Time is running out.

So the painter was here and we have one coat on the ceiling.  Everything is covered in paint cloth.  I uncovered the couch and the computer and went looking for my desk chair.  It was in the hall by the front door.  He stays about an hour or two each day.  I think he has another job that he is working on so is "fitting us in" to his  schedule.  I can smell the paint and have my rescue inhaler handy.

I am going to the eye doctor on Monday.  See how things are.  It's my annual appointment.  I will need new lenses for sure as I have been rubbing my left eye and have scratched up the left lens.  I now lift my glasses up and then rub my eye but the damage is already done.

This morning I was thinking about this blog I write every morning.  Thinking about to whom I write. It has always felt like a person from the very first post so many years ago.  I can feel the person's presence but I have no name for them.  While I am typing I feel close to them.  Perhaps that is why I write everyday.  I wasn't going to write this today.  I was feeling like anyone reading it might think I was mentally unbalanced.   Perhaps I am.  One would think one was completely sane even if everyone else thought you were totally not sane.  and President.

G is wanting to go someplace  so we will go someplace and buy seed starting soil.  And I will start my seeds.  In my milk jugs. And set them outside in the snow.  The milk jugs work as little greenhouses and heat can escape- no caps-- and the holes in the bottom can absorb moisture- right now from the snow.  I usually dig a small hole and set my milk jug greenhouses into the holes- mostly so they won't tip over.  Perennial seeds can be sown in pots filled with soil and set, uncovered into the snow.  They will freeze and thaw and germinate.

Well, I have things to do and my nose is running and I need to find my hankie.
