Blank Canvas

So since my last post I've been wondering about my general anxiety about planting up this new flowerbed. It's like my love of notebooks. I love notebooks. I buy notebooks with particular projects and ideas in mind. Then I become a bit overawed by how lovely they are just as a blank canvas - a blank page, full of potential, perfect and then I think I can't write in them as my handwriting wouldn't be neat enough or I would make a mistake and it wouldn't be this lovely notebook, with lovely handwriting and lovely ideas and written words (this is always my dream!). So my flowerbed is the same, it's a blank canvas, full of potential to become a gorgeous and colourful border but in the process of creating this, my plants might not go together or I won't get the look I am after. I guess it is all about having these creative thoughts and ideas and then creating them! The good thing is that unlike a notebook I can always move things around, dig them up or start again.

Anyway I've planted two plants today - yippee!! I am throwing caution to the wind . . .!
