I live out in the woods, but close to a major city. The woods mean abundant shade, which means lots of ferns. Their forms are so ancient-looking, aren't they? I abstracted this photo and made a small quilt. Besides being hardy and beautiful, the ferns have also proven to be deer-proof, something that nearly nothing else has accomplished in my garden, aka the salad bar. I should give up on the dream of riotous color and plant more ferns...
My friend Natalya has tagged me to reveal 7 random facts about myself. Oh boy.1. The last time I went to a salon for a haircut was over 10 years ago, but I have a dog that has to go to the groomer every five weeks.
2. I think ice cream is an acceptable breakfast food.
3. When I lived in Peru a famous artist composed a poem to me in Aymara, the language of the Incas.
4. I sing really loudly in the car when I'm driving by myself, usually off-key.
5. I don't hold grudges.
6. I have colored-grapheme synesthesia and I can't imagine living without it.
7. Visual chaos makes me anxious.

love your fern quilt. Interesting bit of Korean lettering too.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up colored-grapheme synesthesia. I had no idea a condition like this existed. Wow. This is a part of life I never considered. What does ice-cream look like to you?
