Flower power

 The chokecherries are done and the lilacs are in full flourish.  I do like that powerful smell.  Makes me think of walking to school way back when.  :)

These straw flowers have self seeded all over and I need to entice some over to the bare patch in the north east corner of the yard.  They can exert their power to self seed over there.


For some reason clematis seem to like my yard.  I need to redirect the one beside that lilac where it threatens to overpower that shrub and plant a few more throughout the yard.

But the real power is happening in the studio.  I pushed the bookcase into the closet and traded spots with  the nine compartment cubicle.  I edited the books and the cloth boxes.  I have one  stack and one bag so far for the thrift shop and one bag of garbage. whoo hoo!  The real power is arriving later in the day as the Rooster is taking some time from the yard to work on the studio 'to do' list!  Ah, the power of progress!!!

"I do need to streamline my household chores instead of using them as an excuse for not creating."

Hi Elle ... caught this line of yours in an earlier post and would like to quote you on my blog ... it really resonated with me !

You have inspired me to get into 'my space' when I get home and do the same 'house-cleaning' so that I can actually move around in there ! My girls are itching to throw out stuff they have seen in there since they were teens (I physically need their help). Then they will rip out the carpet and s-i-l will lay hardwood ! Yahoo !

Lilacs are so beautiful and fragrant. I have never grown any. Your grounds are looking green and lush. I adore the straw flowers. I see huge progress in your studio. I am slowly making a tiny bit of progress in mine. Lovely weekend to to you dear...

your garden is looking wonderfully lush and healthy! Good job rearranging things in the studio - that's on my to do list, too
