Green with Envy
A colleague recently introduced my to one of the coolest blogs I have come across called The Illustrated Garden. This woman’s drawings are so so cool! When I saw that she was having a drawing workshop near me I did a happy flip. Count me in! I can’t draw at all, but I would love to pepper my own garden journal with little sketches…it would just be fun.
So, this morning, I planned to register. As I was dialing the phone number, an email came in- the organization I work for was getting an award! Hooray! Could I be there…guess when?! Yes, the same day as the drawing workshop. So now I am feeling sad and punished. The prize for working for such a cool organization is to never learn how to draw a beautiful sunflower or plump okra pod. Life isn’t fair! I will be stuck drawing stick veggies forever 
Dear Beth, It is always the way that the most enjoyable things in life seem to clash. I do hope that there will be another occasion for you to attend the drawing class.
Reading through some of your earlier postings, I was interested to see that you had enjoyed the film Julie and Julia. Like you, I think Meryl Streep is a superb actress and I thought that she was on top form in this. Did you ever see her in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’?
I have noticed that you are new to Blotanical. I joined in January of this year and have found it to be fun.
Hi Edith! I love Meryl Streep, especially in The Devil Wears Prada! I am enjoying Blotanical so far…nice to find so many like-minded people! And I am going to have another chance to take the class in May- hooray!
