Almost everyday from 2pm until we have some other activity, I can be found out front, watching my son and the other neighbor children with the other moms. Today I thought I'd show you my favorites from what's blooming. At left is one of my all-time favorite David Austin roses, Abraham Darby. I mean, Come On!!! How gorgeous is this rose?!? Reminds me of a peony. It smells divine as well.
Then there's these lovely viburnum. I love this plant. I don't know if it's in the hydrangea family, but both the flower and the leaves seam like it to me. It starts out this wonderful shade of chartreuse and turns to white as it opens up.
These are two foxglove plants, you can see where they get there name, huh?
And here are some pincushions, or scabiosas. I love the early stages of the bloom, all tight and compact and creamy chartreuse and lavender...the second picture shows them in full bloom, pretty too.
Here are some of the many kids in the hood, taken last week.
You guys are so cute with your comments, I'm glad you're excited about the paper. Kathy and I are cutting more tonight and getting together tomorrow to put the second set of paper packs together. Getting them on Etsy Friday is our goal. I promise I'll let you know here first, no need to check over there until then. Hopefully I'll get to do some other creating tomorrow as well. ...In other exciting news, escrow finally closed on the purchase of my domain name...so, I finally have a website! There's nothing there either, except the page that says coming soon. I sent the artwork to my brother and he put it up there for me (thanks Dave!)...so, in a few weeks (months?) maybe there will be a lot more to see. ...have a good night, xo p
