It looks like rain, and that would make me very happy, because it's a little surreal!!
But in exciting news, more uplifting and exciting than having to download and learn 2 new applications and work through their different issues so that I can create a good looking slideshow for a client. Who knew that iMovie would be such a very fancy, but arthritic app? Not me. :p
The thing that makes me most happy at this particular moment, besides having whupped that problem for my client (what was I going to do but to finish and make it right for her?!) is that one of my strawberries bloomed this morning.
It's a little thing and I know that, but the magnificent window boxes I got for my birthday, complete with herbs and strawberries, sit on the windows in the bay window that my desk fits into for my office. I look out over them from time to time and it makes me smile. Birds come to visit. Bees buzz and I watch them grow and think about cooking with the herbs, which I love.
These herbs will be undefiled by the depredations of my terriers and the felines that live outdoors. Nuff said! It's FOOD, afterall, and I'm uptight about things like germs and fur and much worse getting into my family's food.
So about this strawberry blossom - it inspires me that things do bloom in time. Everything isn't a battle (like this morning was for me) and that something so beautiful and promising can happen easily and beautifully. I started so upbeat but degenerated into a crank and needed lots of quiet and space so I could focus on "cudgeling my brain" as Dear Fiance so aptly puts it.
Brain cudgeled. Nerves recovering. Strawberry blossom making it so much better. And it does look like it's starting to rain a little and wash this pollen away.
Happy Thursday!
