Hi frens! đ
How was your day? Mine was pretty great! Not to bragâI just try to see things in a positive light. Even when a day is âmehâ or downright awful, I look for at least one good thing in it. Sometimes, letâs be real, there isnât even one. Some days, weeks, or even months can just be tough. But even that shall pass.
⨠So, letâs try to focus on at least one good thing around us, or within us. Who knowsâmaybe a little magic can happenâŚ
đ¨ Today, I made time for some drawing on Procreateâyaaay! If you caught yesterdayâs discussion, you know I drew a butterfly đŚ. Maybe with todayâs drawing, youâll be able to guess my next blog entry đ
Todayâs subject: Cytisus scoparius, better known as âScotch broomâ (or Scots broom).
đ I used to mix it up with gorse, but there are some telltale differences:
âBroom is similar to common gorse in size, shape and flower colour, but it lacks the spines and has short, flattened leaves and larger flowers.â â The Wildlife Trusts
âď¸Fun fact: I actually painted a gorse not too long ago for my Beltane post.
đ¨ A word of caution thoughâdonât get too close! Scotch broom is harmful if eaten, so keep an eye out for your pets when youâre out and about, according to rhs.org.uk
đź I love spotting these bright yellow blooms by the highway or just outside town. That color is chefâs kissâit really brightens up any drive!
đThatâs all for today. Iâm super excited to hear what you think!
Take care and godspeed, my frens! đâ¨
