Today my niece came and took away my collection of beads.



Many colorful tubes of glass seed beads on display
DarkEm's Bead Shoppe


I collected them in the Nineties and did some rather good art with a tiny portion of them. It was kind of a relief (a sad relief) to let them go, and with them all the zillions of brilliant creative ideas I once had that prompted me to spend most of my disposable income for four years buying them all in the first place. It was time.

After admiring the newly cleared space in my living room, I took a long walk in the last of the strange January sunshine, and saw this yard art:

A garden path made of used circular saw blades laid out in a pattern
Oh, the symbolism.


In unrelated news, I understand some important American sportsball event is happening tomorrow, AND that there's a major holiday coming up. I figured both out by going to the big store:

masses of red, pink, and purple heart-shaped Mylar balloons above the checkstands at a big supermarket
Mylar does it good. Wo wo wo wo.


So, Go Team! Balloons Are All You Need! Hello February, goodbye, my beady beads, and farewell to the winter that never was.
