morning glories hidden in the zucchini
was NOT taken today...
a looong time ago i won a giveaway at Kim's Big Quilting Adventure...
Kim sent me lottsa goodies...
including a packet of morning glory seeds - which i planted that spring...
promptly forgot...
and was surprised by that blue blossom UNDER the squash plants...
which was a waaaay cooler surprise than waking up this morning to this...
14 inches of snow between 5pm yesterday and 6am this morning
yeah...
it was already starting to melt by the time i shoveled...
thawed my fingers...
and took the camera back outside...
anywho...
i have found myself pondering the seasons of Life In General...
and of Things In Particular...
and how we move from there to here and back again...
last week i was worrying about how to get from the little leaves to the big leaves...
what was i thinking when i came up with 5 inch leaves and 7 inch leaves?!? how could i not know that it was gonna give me fits?!?
and found myself totally flummoxed...
i needed to move from a 25" x 35" rectangle to a 35" x 42" rectangle without abandoning all hope of symmetry cuz we all know that dianne is diametrically opposed to asymmetry ...
after two days and three nights of thinking and nightmaring i told Auntia that i was gonna give up...
she made a profound suggestion...
why don't you draw it out?
draw what out?!?
the different parts ... draw it all out
and what good is THAT gonna do?!?
then you will see what you need to do...
mutter ... mutter ... mutter
so i took a big piece of graph paper...
assigned one inch to each square...
and guess what?!?
i could see what i needed to do...
oh!!! i SEE!!!
Auntia was right...
but don't tell her that i said that cuz there would be no living with her...
