Georgia O'Keeffe



This is who I want to be when I grow up. I have always admired the art and craft of this remarkable woman. I am jealous of her independent intensity for living life. A spirit that I strive to capture...for me. I want her soul to flow through the brush in my fingers to a single canvas. That will be enough.

I just ate a lemon drop. Husband bought a bag of them today and I haven't had one in years. It tasted excellent. I am restraining myself from eating the whole bag. It's almost impossible. Almost.

Busy day. But I didn't die like I thought I was going to. Many, many folks checking in for the weekend. Quite a variety...bikers, families, members of the band playing at the Railroad Blues tonight...joy.

We have to go to the store in the AM for a few things for the Lodge and I want to see if there are any plants. I want something with a bloom on it. I have been bitten several times by the Big Fat Spring Bug and need something alive and green around me. And it has to be outside so Tom won't eat it.

I got the fish net today and plan to move the little darlings this weekend. I found some great glass to go in the bottom of the tank and scalded it 5 times today. It there was anything remotely alive and crawling on it...it's cooked by now. There is no place in this town to get aquarium gravel. But a friend thinks she has a couple of boxes at her house. Tom is so excited. He just can't figure this whole thing out. Wait till he sees the fish! Priceless!!

I'm still trying to think of the last banned book to add to my revised list. I ordered a few used Judy Blume books on eBay. A nice package deal. And I am almost done with what I am reading now so I can read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I used to know...but I forgot.

I suppose I'll go find something to eat. Leftovers and a salad. I had dessert already. Lemon drops. Have a nice night...
