My Sweet Fairy Garden

My Sweet Fairy Garden is gone!
The deer nibbled on my hostas and my hosta are no more
Look closer...
...and you will see why I am so upset.



it's a shame...it was such a nice reading nook




                                                              (...at least the deer are happy)

SPRING!

Ahhhh....Spring

this is not my own garden, but from Pinterest
(my newest favorite obsession)
DH gave me three huge pots for mother's day and now I need to figure out how to fill them.
They are HUGE!
I love the greens and bright colors...it is the most fun to dream, I think

Painting A Garden

January... 
blah humbug....
~ Nothing excites me in January~
except maybe dreaming of how to paint my garden.

You mean "plant the garden?" 
No, it's "paint the garden".   
Dream if a garden with texture and color in my window paintings. 
The window vignettes should be full of color and interesting texture everyday, all year long.       
Lots of pines.   

Last year was a difficult year because of the drought.  But his year I am hopeful!  Naively hopeful once again.

1.  Find inspirational images
2.  Take photos as it is now
3.  Compare to summer photos- objectively
3.  Dare to dream of what could be
4.  Take one step ... 
You are one step closer

this is how I paint my garden.
