{summer of love}

planting is done!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this garden...




after waiting many years...

it is finally done...

from my little summer studio I can sit and paint, watching the veggies grow...






we planted so many different veggies...cukes, tomatoes, all the peppers (red, yellow, green, hot, sweet banana), yellow beans, green beans, eggplant, 5 kinds of lettuce, summer squash, zuchini, spinach, swiss chard, green onions and a row of herbs.


right now the lettuces and radishes are doing the best...






above, english daisies I started from seed...below, my favorite girl with white cosmos & creeping jenny...two more of my absolute favs.


I am anticipating a summer of love...with lot's of fresh veggies!

Mother's Day prayers

Thought Mother's Day would be the perfect time to share this story from years ago...if you've already seen it (I know it went around the globe on the web), it just feels good to read it again:)
click on the picture and enjoy!

This mother's day I'm praying for something really simple...
beach weather and sand in my toes!

Wishing everyone a beautiful day!

the enchanted garden

I think like everyone, I've just been busier than ever. All a good busy tho! We've had so much rain in the past few days I think my flowers and veggies are floating away!
But it has given me lot's of painting time...working on my latest, a garden theme of course, inspired by my new vegetable garden...
it's not quite finished but here's a peek!
