Week 12--Grass

It's the lazy days of summer. What better way to spend a day than lazing in a hammock reading a breezy novel, spreading out a tablecloth for a picnic, picking daisies in a field and making daisy chains?
How about creating some art?

First, we have lovely memories from Sarah who wrote:

"I remember a meadow where I used to drive amongst in the morning at a house I worked at. I took many pictures, but they have been lost in old cell phones and now all I can do is bring you the meadow in my mind with its giant rolls of hay in the morning light as I first turned into the driveway. A bittersweet memory that I love. That 'grass' in the meadow stretching endlessly will live in this girl's memory forever. No cell phone needed."

Just imagine if Sarah had all of her photographs still!

Then from Freebird, whose son likes to cut the grass, old school, with a push mower. She did this beadwork for him:

Freebird also shared some fond memories on her blog post, so be sure to check it out!

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out what else these artists are up to, as they are a creative bunch! 

Until next time....

This Turf is SO D

Living in Arizona gives us a slightly different perspective on things. For starters, there's no denying it's hot out.
Now, there's an understatement.
Visions of picnics, putting your feet up and sipping an ice cold lemonade float through the mind and quickly evaporate. Wouldn't it be nice to sink bare feet into a nice, cool patch of grass?
We'll just have to do our best imagining and think where we could even FIND a patch of grass--our yard is covered in leaves and stone.
But it's pretty amazing where you will find "Grass," our topic for today!
Cows thrive on it:

Sports guys play on it:

Cyprus

Children consume it (cereals are forms of grass):

Fruit Loops
From theatlantic.com
Try it with Vanilla ice cream!

And then there's the whole bru-ha-ha over marijuana:

I'm going to keep politics out of it, but the fact is medicinal pot is legal here in Arizona.

While I ponder all these possibilities, I'm going to go back to dreaming of sinking my toes in somebody's nice cool lawn.

AHH! That's what I'm talking about! 

BTW: we learned that SO D (gotta have that space in the middle and it's pronounced "SO DEE," means "so decent." 

Show us your "Grass" twinchies!
