In the garden ...

A favourite little spot to sit is in my front garden courtyard.

There is a birdbath next to the chair and often I will be surprised by visitors who stop by for a drink {or splash about}

the lilies are putting on a beautiful show

I love the pop of yellow in the garden

red geranium

they are a favourite

to get to our back yard

you walk through an arbour of purple clematis

pretty purple blooms

so pretty

lots of buds

love

and more urns filled with red geraniums

a very old and rusty flower sign sits

in some grapevine I twisted into a wreath

and our beautiful, majestic Maple

which receives lots of hugs from this tree hugger :-)

Issue 2 of The Coloring Studio is available

and as always, is filled with page upon page of beautiful illustrations to be coloured ♥

So happy to be a contributor to this gorgeous colouring book/magazine.

Picnics & Peony

When it's 31 degrees outside

... a picnic by the lake sounds perfect

Wine * Cheese* Crusty bread * Fruit

and Peony blooms

Among the delights

of Summer

were picnics

to the woods

Sunday Serenity

***

Hello,

sun in my face.

Hello

you who made the morning

and spread it over the fields ...

Watch,

now,

how I start the day

in

Happiness,

in

Kindness.
