I've been craving leaves, trees, bushes, even dirt. I bought a bunch ( five or six ) of houseplants and put them in my kitchen ( photos soon ) and a hanging blooming plant that is overflowing with pink blossoms. I'm such a faulty gardener I don't know the name of the flower, but it's gorgeous, and I hung it right by our front door, next to Lola's 'fairy area'. ( photos! i know! ) I also planted a few very old bulbs that most likely won't bloom, and threw the rest of the deadish looking ones onto the yard for the birds to peck at. I have taken to opening our side glass door and throwing out pieces of carrots, fruit, bread for whatever hungry wild animal trying to survive in suburbia. I pulled weeds and dead crackly roots that look like old hands, and the dirt under my nails helped me relax. Lola has three little herb pots that were in her Easter basket that are now growing nicely, and I bought a packet of wildflower seeds at Target or WalMart? and plan to use those in the next week. When I have the money, I'm going to buy a huge indoor plant for our living room, and I already have a jaunty little stick to use in Lola and Ever's room via the first picture. I just read Sarah Wilson's post the other day on nature escapes. I have been escaping into nature as much as possible my whole life. Mr. Curry and I see ourselves moving- literally- that was as we get older.***
