My Love of Sunflowers

I love sunflowers! Not is it only the colors but, also the repetition of the seeds in a wonderful interlocking pattern.
Wouldn't it be fun to try and capture that placement with beads ;)

I really like this angle and lighting..it almost looks human

Spring in the Garden...........

Easter was a lovely start to Spring with my girls. I had friends and family in for a beautiful day that we could spend outside on my newly cleaned/arranged screen porch. We live here for most of the summer which, by the by, seems to have started sooner than our norm this year.

The little women looking for their baskets. You can also see the garden newly dug and the unfinished side addition of the garden studio. If you look farther down you will see the finished addtion. We were able to have a fire that evening, it was such a great Easter!

A class was taught also for the St. Marys Girl Scouts on 'Wirework Basics' with a project making wire wrapped keyrings.

Nibbles served for the talented artisans

Blossoms formed after an agressive trim earlier

Garden Kitty, pretty paws...I can let her out for hours and the little lovely Marta just stays in the garden rolling about looking for catnip sprouts.

Daffodils and a touch of Winter

Yes......I am early

Daffodils for Spring have to be a gift from God.
He is telling us.... be patient the sun is on its merry way...
The snow covered up their little yellow faces last night

lingering bit of summer

My youngest plucked this for me almost 3 weeks back on one of our walks through the neighborhood.

With this little bit of summer and the in house lady bugs it makes the upcoming Winter a tad more doable.

Bird's nest move

I wondered where my porch robin moved to this year. She went only a few feet away in the Hydrangea Tree.



She was here for quite a few years:
