You have dandelions wow that is wonderful. We are just getting grass here. I am hoping that the dandelions will be around soon. Do you make anything with them?
I love the pottery what great art. They will look gorgeous when they are painted.
Your kids are older than I thought. You look so young. :)
I eat the greens in salad, pick it right from the patio! I have also blended greens and flowers in smoothies. Just learned about roasted roots for coffee. So cool! I adore the plant! It's such a nutritious blessing! So many uses many more than I already do. Do you use them? If so, how do you use them?
I love art! Haha -- i am a total artist!! Just need to be brave enough to do more art!! Clay is something my grandmother also loves! Which I just learned. She's in this blog i think, and 92. Looking forward to painting for sure!!
The kids are 13 & 15. And, my step-daughter turned 28 this past week. I am young! Had my kids when I was 13!! Just kidding 🤣😉 This is my 40th spin around the sun! My kids tell me I am very old! LOL.
I use dandelion greens in smoothies and this last year I dried the root for coffee. I make a coffee blend of chickory, dandelion root and cruched up almonds. It is delicious. The actuall recipe also calls for dates for the sweetner but I don't use the dates unless I am making a big batch for company.
I agree. I enjoy drawing but having the time for one is a problem and brave enough to put my art on steemit, well that may come eventually. As we age we need to do more creating. Most women turn to some form of art. It is good you are doing art. If we don't do something creative then our bodies have a hard time in the transition period from young woman to an elder. Elder doesn't mean someone who is very old.
You look amazing. Our physical ages are not too far apart. You probably look so young because your spirit is so full of youth. Also good health. Your kids are at very interesting ages. I enjoyed those ages, they are the beginning of the transition from childhood to adulthood. I would tell my kids they were in training for adulthood and this is the time for learning and making mistakes. Kids at these ages often flip flop back and forth between the two age groups. As you probably know.
As for you kids telling you that you are very old well that is the perception of kids. That is so great when they have that perception. They are so young they can't see past 25ish. Ah to be so young.
Ahhh! Much wisdom here in your indepth reply! So kind of you to share such wisdom! Thank-you ❤ the dandelion coffee sounds wonderful!! That's very cool and has many health benefits too! Ah, the journey of raising children & our own life's journey too! Leaves me speacheless a lot more as I age! Haha! I always had a remark in my younger years not so much now. Thank-goodness for art! I hope you get brave enough to give it more time on your priority list (i know they are long!) And, share it with us here! Yes!! So liberating! But, i get the 'struggle' i am still trying to get my act together to offer those yoga sessions!! Slow baby steps! 😉
Thank you for the wonderful compliments.
There are a few things that I have learned that I feel need to be shared. For many years I have kept quite about some of the things that I have learned. Now is the time for talking however only when necessary. I still am quiet, I often give the space for others to talk. I know that my views are important but usually many people really want to get their thoughs out. I don't mind listening.
Yes the list is long but in due time it will all come together art and all. Baby steps here too. :)
The yoga sessions will come when it is the right time. Yes baby steps
