Thalia hovered over the Passiflora and did her best to capture a shimmering dew drop inside the burgeoning bud. “Is this thing ever going to open?” A sense of urgency often found the Muse of Wit leaping great distances while leaving important pieces to be filled in by someone else. “Donna said her plant already has two open blooms. Look!” Tal dropped a photo Donna had texted at the beginning of last week into today’s love letter.
A-ha! You’ve thrown down the gauntlet, let the games (thinking) begin! A friend once quipped, “I used to think I was a perfectionist. Later I learned I just wanted to look like one.”
So the challenge posed today is when to say “Enough is enough?” How much yoga practice short of becoming a human pretzel? How much target practice to always score ten out of ten? How many faces and garments for the Muses before I lose sight of what I want to share with my audience?
From this reader, I’d suggest you’ve struck a fine balance between sketching, painting, and making important points.
I myself, have been going crazy with my peonies. I finally got 1 to open... between all of the plants I have over 150 buds... you would think that I would be a little more patient but I am not.
Looking for that perfect bud, the perfect bloom- then I cannot cut them because they are so beautiful. The only time I go crazy cutting them is if we are having storms, if I don’t bring them them they will lose all of their petals outside.
When I had the restaurant I would cut every other flower on my property and put them all around. But not the peonies. They are my special flowers. I plant them for me 😁.
It is a picture perfect day up in the Catskills today. I am going out in my garden to enjoy the rest of it.
I've may have sent this one before since it is one of my favorite quotes from Michelangelo.
"Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle".
I would love to see one of those blossoms. So beautiful and complicated at the same time.
Passi-what? I just call it “BEAUTIFUL!” 💐
Kind of like these “Love Letters” AND “This Community!” #Beautiful 🌻😎🌻

Hurrah! Keep it up!!

Applies more to BFN posts about FF, I guess, but sometimes you get what you can get. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
