Soiled Hands

Today I made my hands dirty. I got some new "impressions of Nature" plaques started.

I love this detail of the sage impressions and am looking forward to painting it.

I got my hands into the soil too, to place all my tomato and pepper plants into the earth. Perhaps tomorrow afternoon I will get the eggplant, celery and celeriac in, along with the other plants still waiting their turn.

I made time for a short afternoon nap under the maple tree. I'm glad I did.

My nail brush got quite a workout before I made the grilled garlic chicken, potatoes and peppers for dinner ... and the brownies for dessert ... and the curry biscuits for the early morning meeting and breakfast in Oxford. 

That's what I made today.
