Live Long and Prosper

Leonard Nimoy - may he R.I.P.

My creative goals in the new year,

include a dedicated attempt to use up 

my stash of supplies.

We have had an incredible snowy winter this year,

and in anticipation of a very wet basement in the spring,

I have been evacuating and relocating tubs of supplies.

By moving things around,

a funny thing happened. 

I felt a spark of creativity and imagination,

just by peeking in my tubs,

and taking inventory of where all my supplies were.
