Anyhew, there with the stats is a thing that shows "traffic sources", and it will show the google searches people have made that lead to your blog, with the key words they use.
"old lady gardening"
hmm.
Of course, one of my goals is to be one of those spritely "old ladies" always in the yard, with sticks and seeds in my stylishly ultra short steel gray or snow white hair (think Judy Dench), stooping down conversing with the fairies that live near my frog pond. I didn't think I was quite there yet, though. At least my hair is pretty much the same old boring brown, with some gray mixed in, that it's been for a number of years. But I do often have sticks and leaves and seeds stuck on me. And sometimes I find a chicken egg forgotten in my coat pocket from the last time I went outside.
Well, enough of that.
This was my spread for the March meeting of the Altered Book group I belong to. The theme of this book is "Good Fortune" (as in fortune cookies). The fortune at the bottom says "One dreamed of becoming somebody. Another remained awake and became."
And further up on the page I wrote with pencil that existential observation "Things in the mirror may appear closer than they are". I spent a lot of time on my recent trip to Austin looking at that phrase imprinted on the side mirror of the car I rode in (what should have been an 11 hour drive took 14 hours due to interstate construction).
Another member of the Altered Book group (the owner of the "Good Fortune" book as a matter of fact -- come on, Cindy! I dare you to post a comment! -- I don't even have those weird unreadable letters and numbers to trip would-be commenters up ;-), brought these to show -- they are made from toilet paper tubes. I think it would be cool to make a chess set out of them.
