the buzzing of the bees

I am thrilled to spot so many happy bees in the garden!

They are big and plump and healthy

for my eyes

cloud watching

sitting outside on my back deck and looking up at the sky

watching the thick clouds and making out their shapes

… often, I see hearts

for my feet

Nia dance 

I had planned to register for a Nia dance class just before 'everything changed' … 

and then I found some fantastic on-line classes

Nia dance incorporates  body-emotion-mind & spirit 

all done to some incredible music!

for my hands

a macramé wall hanging

I really love playing around with different macramé knots & creating them on pieces of driftwood gathered along the beach near home 

I added some wooden beads as I was forming knots

but after I was finished, felt this wall hanging needed something "more"

So I found 2 more pieces of driftwood whose shape fit together nicely and added those - tying them all together with twine and raffia

and then added some eucalyptus, dried roses and babies breath

… a little heart shaped piece of Lake Ontario beach glass was added to the top
