The plants in the house are turning out to be a good gauge of my own mental health.  I am inclined to be introspective in the backyard and find myself tending to the plants while I'm there, so when the plants don't look good I know that I haven't been taking enough time for myself.  It's not looking good for either of us at the moment.  Luckily I've had a bit of time to recover this weekend.  Hopefully over the next week the plants and I will make a full recovery.

It wasn't supposed to be this easy.

P.S. If you haven't noticed, I'm in a strange place today!  It's been a weird weekend.

Grant Writing

Here's hoping a little playful creativity inspires professional creativity!  I'm not feeling overly inspired.

P.S.  I debated about the glare in this photo.  In the end, I decided I liked the effect it had on the paint.  That brush stroke is actually a deep purple!

It's All Relative

Perspective is a big deal.  Depending on your frame of reference being close to another can feel spacious and inviting or smothering. 

Night

Things always seem bigger and more ominous at night.
