Oh, I would love to learn how you manage to control the coltsfoot. It blew into my yard from somewhere and boy, what a nightmare. I thought garlic mustard, buckthorn, thistles & bishops weed were bad, but coltsfoot is a whole new level. Any tips would be much appreciated! And your garden looks fabulous!

What inspired me? I love to observe nature and often spend time in my garden taking photos. Journaling, observing and sketching strikes me as a more intimate activity, and it will force me to slow down and get grounded. I have a crazy job that often feels like a time-warp. Communing with nature will shift perspective to things that are truly important. In any case, the course popped up in my email and the reaction was visceral - this appeals to me. What will my journal look like? As I have no sketching or drawing experience, it will probably be more script-heavy with its-bitsy drawings until I develop the confidence to try something bigger. I appreciated all of the journals and the different approaches. I'll give my style time to develop and will focus on enjoying the experience. What is exciting is that the journey will be memorable!

Bettie, I'm in the same spot as you. I have a large garden with many beautiful plants, birds, insects and other wildlife that I love to observe. Have never drawn anything outside of elementary school art class, so will have to see how that goes. I am intimidated by the blank page and all I see outside right now is a heck of a lot of snow, so I suppose I can just pretend for a bit longer.... My plan is to get outside and start observing the first buds and insects that show up. I figure I'll start small, and work my way up to birds and other things as I gain confidence. We really are our own worst enemy.
