“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.”
That’s my mantra for the summer! So many things outside of my control but I can’t let it frustrate me. I’m going with the flow!
I was hoping to teach a class or two this summer but I can’t get the ground underneath my “Big Tent” levelled so I can’t work out there yet. Last year I did quite a bit of damage to my ankles working on an unlevel floor. I won’t do that again because the damage isn’t going away. I now have to wear serious supports all the time now and my mobility is significantly less than what it was. I have to accept that when you have both forms of arthritis, it just ain’t going to be easy.
Fortunately, I still have an ample supply of dyed and printed fabric to work with so it’s not disaster. And I AM going to the Quilting By The Lake Workshop to take a class with Kerr Grabowski that I’m so looking forward to! That will generate lots of new ideas for what else I can do with some of these pieces I already have on hand and it will get me making some new stuff when I come home.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on my computer these days. I have to change course now, though, and get outdoors more. I have some herbs and some summer squash to get in the ground. Billy has all the tomatoes in. This year they’re all the indeterminate types started by our “honey” guy – the beekeeper that keeps us stocked up.
Do any of you have those new attachable lenses for your cell phone cameras? I got one with macro and fisheye lenses and I’ve been playing with it. Maybe I need more practice and maybe they’re not what they should be. I dunno! Here’s some of the results of my experiments with them. These are the good ones.
These…not so much! LOL!
Let me know if you’re happy with yours. I’ll be practicing more!
Let’s go see what happening over at Off The Wall Friday!

Going with the flow is a good approach, although you would probably prefer a level pond to a flowing river for a backyard metaphor this year. Luckily you were wonderfully prolific last year. I got a new cellphone but no extra lenses yet. It does take much better photos than the old one and I like the “live” shots that move, although not sure how I would use them.

Well, they should be great with your bugs! I saw some great pics by someone, I don’t know who she was, though. But she was shooting bugs!
