Good Evening My Friends! I’ve missed you all!
I am sitting on the sofa this evening, curled up in the corner under a blanket, watching the birds land in and out of the feeder before it gets dark. The weather is cool, rainy, almost snowy. It’s that in-between weather that brings on this in-between feeling.
Is it Spring by you? I mean warm, sunshiny, flower popping, sweet breezin’ kind of weather?
Mine is on hold.
Hold for me means not in the mood for doing much of anything. No writing, no cooking, no cleaning. No reading. No wardrobe enhancements. Just being a slug until the sun shines a little brighter…and warmer.
I like to think of this in-between time as all those seeds of creativity that have been brooding all winter getting ready to pop. All my ideas, notions, and plans are percolating right beneath the surface, finding their way around rocks and through soft spots and say hi to the worms on their way to the surface. And once they burst into the sunlight…
That sounds all well and good. Tomorrow. Ah yes….everything looks better Tomorrow.
So tell me! How do you cope with the in-between time? Do you plan new projects? Vacations? Do you sketch ideas for future paintings? Do you plan new meal ideas? Try new recipes? Do you reread your writing? Watch movies?
Love to see how you ride the in-between!
You are so right! And I know its just a stage — I can’t come up with new ideas if they don’t percolate a while! But on your blog you’re busy all the time!

The in-between times are a must! Walking is my time to rejuvenate.

This year the “in between time” seems to be dragging on forever, so, things are on hold. I long to see the buds and feel the warmth of the sun when I walk. Spring, hurry up!
