<br />
Five years ago when I started this blog, it was the perfect vehicle for the outward expression of what was developing in my inner life. My passionate belief that it is essential for us, as humans, to truly experience our world and what it communicates to us underlies my writing and art. Having just gone through a move to a new city and deep in the work of homeschooling I found my creative outlet here and through my articles for Newnan Coweta Magazine.<br />
<br />
Life moves on. Once again, we are in a new place...physically and emotionally. We have completed our homeschooling years and are the stewards of a new home. I am ready to explore my art as a deeper expression of who I am. I have taken these words to heart: "My life and my art are going to tell a story whether I try to or not...a Christian is a living explanation. Be who and what you are." (<i>It Was Good: Making Art to the Glory of God</i>, Charlie Peacock)<br />
<br />
So...for the time being I am leaving The Thoughtful Gardener but will continue writing, taking photos, painting and other good things at <a href="http://mydrawl.blogspot.com/">http://mydrawl.blogspot.com/</a> Please join me there.Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12043913022232772057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285707194809033809.post-58190348702272882482012-12-30T00:28:00.003-05:002013-05-19T14:56:49.372-04:00love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the unfolding of the story, the narrative, the adventure...</div>

because it is <i>always </i>a story.</div>

</div>I have just met my latest deadline for Newnan Coweta Magazine with an article about the language of flowers. And so...I was inspired to create my own tussie-mussie (ugh! Hate that name, but I haven't been able to come up with another.) It is a small, tight nosegay of flowers, leaves, and herbs with each plant conveying a specific meaning. This one is for my sweet sister-in-law to celebrate her engagement. The amazing thing about this little gem is I was able to find all the components blooming in my yard (in December!!), except for the sweetheart roses.

Finally... the other thing that has been keeping me busy---<br />
preparing for my upcoming exhibit at Sacred Heart Cultural Center. <br />
This is my "gallery" in my home.<br />
In the center is a landscape with my Second Born, Neice, and Nephew <br />
on one of their many walks down the beach at Cape San Blas<br />
. It is flanked by the botanicals that will go into the show.<br />
Whew!</td></tr>
