Seen through tiny golden windows,

curling stamens convey the tree of life.

3.TWENTY-FIVE.16

 

Come into my garden.

Take a seat next to the strawberries and sage.

Breathe in the fragrant lilies and roses.

Lets enjoy this thyme together.

3.NINTEEN.16

Blooms sparkle in the city lights.

 Laughter, street musicians, restaurant aromas.

Spring bursts forth, soft, gentle.

I am ready.

 

2.TWENTY-SIX.16

Stepping up

for something bright

on the cold and hard

Stepping down

for something quiet

in the noise and rush.

Up and down.

Up and up.

2.TWENTY.16

Keep in mind my vigor

Even in chill and dim

Lingers on my leafy dress

Eluding rest, savoring the best

2.EIGHTEEN.16

I was honored to join a friend on a misty walk among her lovingly tended perennial garden beds.

2.FOURTEEN.16

You love me, yes, even though I may be rather rough around the edges.

Encore.

We can feel it in the air.  A dip in the air temperature.  The slant of the sun.  The first colored leaves on a tree.

Yet, these beauties are blooming their hearts out. Bright, showy colors, pinks and purples.  Before the yellow, gold, orange and red of mother nature.

One last riot of color.  An encore.  I am so thankful for a ticket to the show!

 

In glass.

We have been collecting, gathering, planning. This project of ours has been many weeks in the planning. And, at long last, we settled down for a sunny afternoon project on the deck.

Rocks into glass.

Potting soil. Fern.

A succulent or two.

Sand. Brightly colored Oxalis.

Add an airplant and a touch of moss…and Voila!

Our own tabletop terrariums. Complete with grazing buffalo, of course!

Rainbow.

A recent family outing took us to a spectacular, new landscape.  We did not find a pot of gold at the end of this stunning rainbow.  What we did find was a golden clog and we traveled in style!

Happy spring into summer, Growers!
