It's that time again! Five Senses Friday! I haven't done one for a really long time and you know... I've missed it! I really am able to see my blessings when I do. This week's image comes from a walk I had awhile back. I love the way the drops of water hang on the flower. I found Five Senses Friday at a lovely blog - Abby Try Again... find her blog HERE ... Smelling: The dirt in my garden as I dug up some beets. Tasting: Fresh baby beets from my garden, oh such a yummy earthy flavor. Feeling: Nervous - I am going to another singles dance this week. Ugh, I am fine when I get there, but dread it until I am enroute. Hearing: The sound of a Bald Eagle call while I was waiting for a friend to pick me up. It was far away, but I love the sound of that call - it never gets old. Thank you Washington. Play along if you like (comment and let me know if you do, I want to see what you come up with!). Hope you are all having a lovely week!

There's no trying in art journaling, just do it! So, I will do this. I think it will be good for me. I collect all these pamphlets and clippings and things from my adventures. I can't help it - they call to me. So, now it's time I put them to use. Keep checking back - an post with an actual photo of a journaled page will appear. In other news, I have been having an amazing summer. My parents came to visit and we played alot. I have a garden, which struggles because I am a horrible gardener and the bed wasn't deep enough for anything to really grow. It is also possible that in my enjoyment of the rest of the summer I may have forgotten to water things very regularly. However, I have been getting peas, swiss chard, a cherry tomato or two, strawberries and rhubar
