the grass grows


'Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself''
Zen Proverb

One of 2 plants my children gave me today. Then they tagged along with me through the greenhouses at the garden centre. The fresh plant smells! The heady aroma of living things after a long, cold winter. Totally intoxicating.

The underside of a cardigan I'm working on. I love the hummocky landscape of lace.

The beginning of a cardigan I'm designing. Lovely summer weight hemp and cotton.

I hope your spring is green and peaceful. happy mother's day.

  2. Love the pot that the plant is in. How thoughtful! I'm loving the green smells also.

    That blue yarn is wonderful! The green is also. Can't pick a favorite.

    Hope your day was most wonderful!
