Angel Curls
She’s my neighbor and for the past two years, since she was 4 years old, we’ve explored crayon, watercolor, colored pencils, pastels, paper cut outs, and now her latest fascination – clay. Initially, I thought I would “teach” her but I quickly found out I had no idea how to do that. Instead we just play – mostly I watch her. She’s pretty happy if I just give her 100% percent of my attention during our half hour or max hour together once or. twice per week. I’ve seen so much progress. She is totally focused on the activity of the day and happy to take the day’s activity home with her.
She has learned that I don’t like to do smiling photos and she has no problem with this. Normally her hair is in braids or one or two pony tails, hence and on the day she arrived with her hair down in curls I decided to photograph her. I could complain about some of the colors as they shifted in the photograph of the painting – but what’s the point.
Today, I began cutting back my strawberry plants and adding the foliage to my compost pile. I say I’m tired of gardening but yesterday I found myself buying large bags of container soil to transplant my many kale plants in another week or so. Cabbage worms decimated my many kale plants a couple years ago. It was so depressing I haven’t tried since. This fall I will. Have a wonderful remainder of your weekend. Winifred
