It's been a long winter - unemployment, lack of sun, depression, death - I had a long fallow period where I didn't feel any creative spark for knitting, sewing, blogging, or anything really. But after some time in the sun, some readjusted expectations, and a lot of meditating on all the good things about life (which is pretty perfect, after all, except for the job thing), it's coming back to me.
The reason I started blogging in the first place was to keep track of all my creative hobbies, and to share them with anyone who might be interested. I figure that reviving the blog goes hand in hand with trying to nurse that creativity back to life and might encourage me to keep at it.
While I was in the backyard taking these pictures today the wind kept wafting the light scent of apple blossoms around me, and I couldn't get this song out of my head, Wide-Eyed, Legless, from Laura Veirs' album July Flame. I've been listening to it a lot and it provokes such a yearning for summer in me that I have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy this spring, too.
