digging up the backyard Budapest Domestic Integrity Field of wildflowers

…was a last minute inspiration this morning while in residence for the week at the hospitable and innovative Blood Mountain Foundation (smartly founded and graciously run by Hungarian-Aussie Jade Niklai and Aussie Tom Sloan – though presided over by their precious two year old Pepper) commissioners and producers of Edible Estate #12: Budapest, planted last weekend – but even though the heavy earth, plant, and garden work is done, and crocheting begins on the Domestic Integrity Field rug this morning, I found myself looking out the back window, with the Danube in the distance, at the lush yard below, and imagining a perfect circle of native wildflowers to mix with the nice wild stuff already down there (like alpine strawberries and yarrow), to reflect the circle of the rug expanding inside…which will soon become an integral indoor-outdoor relationship in upcoming editions of Domestic Integrities…but more on that later.
