The End of Blog Fog

January 25, 2018 by dorannrule

It occurred to me this morning that I need to just sit down and write.

Having a blank mind and an idle pen only magnifies an unexplained malaise. Maybe it started with the BigFoot that continues to plague me, but this is hopefully the end of Blog Fog!

For today I can provide some ~~exciting~~ unexpected writing (and hopefully reading).

Because today I am celebrating a wise purchase.

Not being able to shop afoot I have been keenly watching the internet for life changing “things” to perk me up. And there it was -THE GARDEN OF EDEN!

Actually it’s a quilt. A microfiber quilt that promises to “add an extra layer of light weight warmth.” And it does just that.

But this quilt is also a Garden of Eden to behold. It is complete with butterflies and flowers, berries and greenery in an overwhelming array of images that take you out of yourself and into paradise and ecstacy. (Please remove your minds from the gutter though. This is ethereal stuff.)

Ever pragmatic, Bill says, “But it’s missing snakes and apples.”

Nevertheless, and even though this quilt is a bit too busy to suit my craving for clean clear modernistic, uncluttered lines, I love it. It is definitely light but warm and cozy-soft, and I drift into sweet dreams where I am lithely running across heavenly fields, no longer dragging the big bad boot behind.

Watch out now my friends in cyberspace. ‘Tis the end of Blog Fog here in Virginia and the beginning of ecstatic posts to wow you.

Blog Fog Goes Galloping! Wonderful! If you wrote only the alphabet, I’d read it. Out loud, if necessary.

Not only is it warm and lovely, but it shows signs of summer, with it’s many flowering patterns. That’s enough to get anyone out of a fog!

Isn’t it wonderful how nature can heal, even when it’s “unnatural” nature, like patterns stamped on a quilt? That really is a beautiful piece; there’s nothing like a combination of flowers and butterflies to cheer the soul.

I think there’s a rhythm to the creative life, and sometimes we just need a little time to lie fallow, like the fields. But isn’t it fun to feel things stirring again! I love your posts, and am looking forward to whatever you have to share with us.
