smoothie remnants

Good on Elisha for her quick and correct guess!

You can only get these amazing miniature enchanted forests if you don't do dishes for a few hours or days. It's worth it though, and that's why I sometimes hold off on dishes unless there's a pressing reason for doing them immediately after eating [cough]. I am willing to sacrifice tidiness to the greater ideal of promoting spontaneous art in the home and in the world.

Rachel @ Lautaret Bohemiet said...: You know, at FIRST I thought "Wow! Elisha is amazing! HOW IN EARTH did she figure that out?! Genius!" Then I realized, oh, she must leave dirty dishes sitting around! Hahaha! Kidding.; March 8, 2012 at 9:43 PM
Anonymous said...: HA! You are so right Rachel :) Mostly what happens is I leave my blender in the sink for a couple of hours after making a smoothie and wha-la! Or maybe I should echo you Lori and say it is really the pursuit of spontaneous art! That sounds way cooler...; March 9, 2012 at 2:54 PM
The Weems Family said...: Please, call and tell Ryan, dishes on the counter are "Art". If it is visual art, what do you call the smell?!?

Imagine opening a gallery of dirty dish art. How much would you charge? Would you frame the hanging fly catchers? Would you offer the guests glasses of wine complete with little tiny fruit flies?; March 10, 2012 at 1:34 PM

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
