minor

 * 2 minor things that, although minor, slightly detract from viewing enjoyment: Joan Allen is an actress. Joan Allen is left handed. Joan Allen portrayed G. O'Keeffe as left handed. G. O'Keeffe was right handed. Joan Allen is an actress (wasn't she able to act right handed?). Actresses who portray hugely pregnant women but flop, flop, onto sofas. I tell you, as soon as I found out I was pregnant I did not flop for a year.

Dorsey, reads, Res, green, fence, flowers

 * Listening to Dorsey Armstrong 'Powerful Women of the Medieval World' and '1215'.

* Reading The Anchoress and Patch Work.

* The Res has such water filling it that there is no beach to the beach.

* Waiting for spring and the green and then feeling shocked when I step out of the door and it is so green.

* A new privacy fence. 

* Last December brought a new resolve to me. I will always have fresh flowers in the house. Initially I subscribed at a local florist which was interesting because their offerings disclosed techniques that I was not aware of and use of little known flowers. Now I find fresh flowers at the market and arrange them myself. Such an injection of joy--to see them first thing in the morning, to have their scents waft over me as I sit at my desk. I pause throughout the day to soak in the shade and hue changes.

apart, goal, rivers, 4, start

* It is okay to fall apart. Tacos fall apart and we love them.

* Goal: to sit in the garden while ignoring, denying, the harassment, the pull, of planty tasks. "You bought us yesterday---get us into the soil!!" "HAW HAW we're the tall thistley weeds come to take over."

* Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day. A.A. Milne

* He has been gone 4 years and yet I still hide my work, muffle my songs, whisper my prayers, filter my words, turn off the movie. Will I ever feel the freedom to live?

*  Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
