Random Thoughts

My first thought of the day today was that there is

just NOTHING like a good hair cut

It is SO much easier to put that self doubt aside

when your hair is just swinging!!

I have had the pleasure of two great hair designers 

over my 15+ years in Maine

Starting with Missy in Bangor and now

with Shaina at the Alchemist in Ellsworth

Thank you, thank you , thank you

I scored this awesome quilt at an auction on Sunday

It is all hand stitched and the printed hexagons are definitely 

from old grain/feed bags 

Thankfully I was surrounded at the auction by guys looking for doors and tractors

  Now I don't have to take that hexagon class - HA!

I LOVE having TIME to spend in my home kitchen

with my cats and my weird thoughts and crazy food ideas

Someone asked me, very kindly, the other day if I was getting bored.

I think excited is more accurate

I am 5 months today, into this year of pause, and

really just able to let go about a month ago.

 I am having a blast!  Plus, I really feel like I am

repairing, and I am SO filled with gratitude 

I love being able to throw myself whole hog into my projects

and I've kept events happening about once a month - 

so I still have my feet in the mix

Speaking about projects I have been developing a new

twist on my granola.  It is gluten free and 

full of goodness and it tastes awesome!

Making a batch today, I pulled out my Mom's old nut chopper

I don't think I've used it since making Christmas cookies as

a young girl in her kitchen.  Crazy how things instantly

transport you somewhere - it was a nice trip -

One last random craziness for today is my favorite shovel

It is little, like a really tall person could wear it as a necklace.

Carol Collins, who used to garden for me long, ago had one

and she said it was her favorite tool

Not being shy I found one at a yard sale for $2.00 and decided

to give it a try.

Awesome!  Weeds, transplants, holes, shoving, shucking you name it

be on the look out during tag sale season

Enjoy~
