Interesting

Okay, so I should be cleaning the kitchen but here I am typing out this post. I guess that is how I do things, a bit here and a bit there, ugh!
I think I mentioned before that this has been one great summer for me and I figured out why. I have been creating things, spending time with creative people and also cultivating friendships. You would think that by 40, I would "know" myself, well, obviously I am a slow learner. I realized today that I have had such a great time because I have been doing what I enjoy, time with others and time creating things. I love when I am doing something.
Things I have done with friends this summer:

• Attempted to make whole wheat tortillas, not there yet but we spent a day making tortillas and then a meal with our creations
• cookie dough for the freezer
• oatmeal jam bars
• jam/jelly
• berry picking
• doughnuts
• bread
• pennants for the baseball team
• I am sure I am forgetting a couple of things

But even more, I have spent time with real adults, Mother Culture, who knew that I would thrive this summer doing what grows me...huh?
And with those real adults I have also spent time learning things from them and making plans for future projects and gleaning ideas for future projects for myself.
So, when I try to hibernate this winter, I might have to go back and read this blog and get out the scissors and thread because I am itching to sew....
I had a long painting to do list for the summer, I even bought paint brushes. Yet, nary a drop of paint has seen those brushes. They will, in August, in when I convince myself that home improvement needs to happen. But, I will probably call on my friends to come chat while I paint and bring their Blessings to keep my Blessings occupied.
