I've started asking myself (is this a good idea or a bad idea?), what am I doing these days? I have undertaken a few cooking projects. I've been busy with work, the nonprofit project, moving, home stuff. Mostly nesting, it seems. I haven't completed a new piece of jewelry in a few weeks. I built an Ikea bookshelf today, but I wouldn't call that a creative project, not when it comes with picture instructions. Moving into the Lovely Boyfriend's place has taken a lot of my creative energy. How do I fit things into this box in an efficient way, yet one that makes sense? (Yep, that kitchen utensil would fill that last little bit of space perfectly, but the rest of the box is filled with bookshelf stuff...there's gotta be something else more rational to go there?) Where can we create storage space where there was none before? How do I make this shitty closet work for my stuff? How do I organize all my things in my mind, now that I get the opportunity to sort and organize and categorize everything? What can I throw away (well, recycle or donate)? (Yes, this last question is one that's calling on a high degree of creativity and imagination on my part, in ways I couldn't have imagined until I started).
I've planted a few things recently. Radishes, a new raspberry cane (this one fall-bearing, so I now have two summer-bearing black raspberries, a summer-bearing red, and a fall-bearing red), an evergreen huckleberry (yum!), and three blueberry bushes. I'm thinking about where my garden will be this year, since it will be at the Lovely Boyfriend's place and not mine. Where does the sun shine? What will be easiest to dig up that isn't grassless because nothing will grow there?
Hibernation is all about asking the questions and developing the answers. Action comes as the shoots poke out of the soil in the spring.
