I moved the table and four chairs in order to make more space on the patio to chill; Stan likes laying by this chair...
I decided to try my hand at herbs along with bell and jalapeño peppers this year...we shall see...
A little sitting nook...
Hey, who are those little dudes in the garden?
Despite the late snow, I did end up with a few lilacs this year!
Another creative project I have been working on is for my Empowerment Practice with Diverse Communities class. My teacher is super cool and we could do anything creative for our final project. So, I made this art piece
The wording says "Empowerment begins with Humility and Vulnerability". Social workers aim to help clients and communities toward being empowered, and both traits are necessary-humility on the part of the social worker, and vulnerability on the part of the client. I did a tile mosaic along with layered tissue paper to represent the deconstruction of power systems as well as the complexity of power and powerlessness. It felt good to smash cheap plates and cups that I bought at ARC with a hammer...smashing the construct of patriarchy...Ok, ok...I will save it for the paper I have to turn in along with the art piece. I think I am going to give it to my teacher-but I haven't decided just yet : )
