Closer Look at the Bee and Butterfly

-
Take a closer look at two of the pieces in this month's exhibit at the SAVA Gallery.

A visit from these pollinators is a blessing to any park or garden. You can attract butterflies and bees to your garden by adding native plants with colorful blooms. Here are just a few suggestions:

• Lavender's lovely scent attracts butterflies
• Purple Coneflower/Echinacea Purpurea attracts butterflies growing  easily with little care
• Lemon Balm, Thyme and Borage all attract bees

 For more information on planting a butterfly and bee friendly garden check out this article by Ben Groves over at Suite101.com .

Sometimes you just need to stay in bed

-

Completely exhausted I climbed into bed early one evening. Grabbed the book sitting on my bedside table. The one that had been sitting there for months, maybe even a good year, unread. It was Alice Hoffman's Skylight Confessions. Like most of Hoffman's stories you get to know the charters through the course of the quickly developing plot. Before I knew it I was sucked in and didn't move until I had read the book, cover to cover. At the center of the story, almost a charater itself, is a house called the Glass Slipper. Built of glass the home requires care and expresses pain just as the people in the story do. One can almost imagine looking into this house and seeing rooms of pain, hope, love and disspare. Among them the skylight window where a young man escapes. The book was a diversion. During those hours, nothing else existed but the story and the peace I gleaned from this brief escape from relativity.

Dropped off the Blog-o-sphere

-
My apologies. After years of relatively regular entries, I simply dropped off the face of the blog-o-sphere for a full two months without warning. I have no excuses. Simple put I got burnt out. Not with blogging but with the overwhelming craziness that became my "to do list". It got to the point where I had so much I needed to do that I wasn't very effective at anything. So in response, I did nothing.Well, not much anyway. But it's time for my personal strike come to an end. I'll start by catching you up. Not now. Not all at once. I'll resume my creative online journey bit by bit over the next few entries till I'm back on course. Thank you for your patience. Don't go to far there will be more to come quite soon. I promise.
