The Late Bloomers

In my heart I keep a place for the Late Bloomers. When everything else outside (and in) has come and gone, they are there to cheer us all. The blooms above are from the yucca near my front step . . .
. . . the orchid cactus in my home . . .
. . . hops in my garden . . .

. . . orchid in my studio . . .

In the Village Beyond the Wood . . .

In the village beyond the wood there lies a long-forgotten path. Near it flows the littlest of streams, and there I saw a sight so sweet.

Here they have been for so long a time with their lives intertwined. Through ups and downs and all-arounds, here they stay . . . as forever they may.

Thanks so much to all of you who came to the Astoria Sunday Market on Mother's Day and visited my booth. Your encouragement and kind words mean a great deal to me.

Spring House for an Imp

Tired of Winter and living in a Person's house just to be warm, the industrious imp gathered House-Building Materials. With them she fashioned a lovely home, complete with mossy roof, rolled spring-leaf walls, a window to let in light during summer's long days, a door at which to greet welcome guests, and plenty of soft sheep's-wool for a yard. The daffodils simply could not help themselves and reached through the woolen yard to cheer things up.

The Blossoming Pear Tree

The pear tree is blossoming . . . the tulips are tuliping . . . the azaleas flowering . . . as is the apple tree . . . with the cherry tree to follow . . .
