It’s Sunday afternoon, overcast and rainy here in our neck of the woods. Saturday morning I felt horrible, a migraine what have you. My medicine did eventually work somewhat and I ventured out to view the tilled garden. I felt good enough by early afternoon to don work gloves and handle the garden shears. With all my might I pruned an assortment of plants in the cutting garden area. Mind you it’s not a full blown cutting garden yet. In one section we had this bright idea to put plants that were transplanted from other areas to this section and one day {you know the story} we would move them were we wanted them permanently. I dare say this is not a good idea, better to find a spot for them right away; as plants do, they grow and then are a pain to deal with.

I love the lettering and quote above from Courtnie over at Poppy Petals, her lettering is beautiful. I have recently taken an online class for calligraphy, the dip pen and nib kind of class. Where you dollop liquid ink onto your nib and make those tines sing as they swirl & loop-di-do on your page. Oh, I have a long ways to go before I show my work on here. I love it because it just takes your hands and lots of practice. All you need is your favorite nib and dip pen + lovely paper!

I do have a problem with wanting perfection……. I’m trying to be less of a perfectionist and not worry about every little detail. I do think if we try to be perfect, nothing really gets accomplished. So let’s get busy this week and get something done even if it’s less than perfect!

Enjoy the week ahead!
