[ "All gardening is landscape painting." - Saturday 03/09/13]

I like the sound of that. I think, though, as with art, you need to have a decent canvas. Sometimes, the landscape is perfect, as it is. Changing what was already there would be more destruction than improvement. However, sometimes, adding new life to damaged ground helps to bring it back.

And, seeing damaged ground healing itself is the best "painting" anyone would ask for.

I took this last time we were home. My girl is getting better!

Here, everything is green or bright... the colors you would imagine along a tropical coast. DG has always said it looks like Hawaii.

Sometime, I think I would like to see Hawaii.

[two ways in which you have reinvented yourself - Tuesday 03/19/13]

Elizabeth Springer - I miss her (the first one) more lately than I used to. She had a bakery, and a daughter who was adopted and more friends than she knew what to do with. She was the least 'private' of all of the... mes. She went to school plays and swim meets, she catered events all over Central City, and she was just happy.

Liz came back around, again, though she wasn't nearly as open as the first time. The second one was a librarian, fairly anti-social, and a bit of a pain in the ass. Just ask El.

She's the one who got to deal with her.

Audree Springer - She was born in an instant of panic, the night El brought Trey home. He even knew it was a lie, but he never questioned me. Well, he did. But he waited until later, until I was able to tell him what I finally managed to tell El.

Sometimes, though... I think Trey already knew all the things I never told him about me.

my kids, new friends and old, stuff from another life, something for the box, places i've been, home-the zone, home-laethriel, prompt: charloft, i'm me and that's okay, my wife, my family is smarter than me, my therapy, my husband
