Back from beautiful Italy

Will share soon

Jet lag gets tougher as you get older.  

Have a great weekend dear friends.

I have the Wanderlust

Leaving Home

Leaving my mountains to the East

And leaving my mountains to the West.

The Squash and Potato patch will have to wait. 

The kitchen garden in front of the barn is lying fallow.

The flower beds will also have to wait. 

Blue skies and a promise of blossoms, left behind.

Leaving my pond and all the critters that call it home.  

All for a small corner of Italy. 

Back Soon

Be well.

Mon Bouquet du Jour

Just picked

My suitcase is packed.

My Daffodils will go on blooming without me. 

Have a great weekend dear friends.

Mein Sonntag Strauss

My first Daffodils

and many Hellebore in my garden.

By the time I get back from Italy my field of Daffodils may not be blooming anymore.

I will have missed the entire show.

I don't know if that is an acceptable trade-off.

Have a great week dear Friends.

Just another morning

at my house.

Now that the ice has left we can let the spring fill our pond again.

Snow on Saturday covered the only flowers I have blooming in my garden.  

They have frozen before, yet Hellebore always come out looking great.  

This time of year my flowers have to come from the store. 

You can just see the table to the left.  That is where I sit and paint. 

Montgolfiere tiles for a new side table...just out of the kiln. 

A couple of weeks ago my old orchids were throwing new spikes.  

They have now opened fully and even surprised me with a new color. 

All reservations have been made. 

 Soon I will spend the day with Maestro Mario of Montelupo, Italy.  

We will paint. 

When not painting or sight seeing I will learn how to make proper home made pasta at the 
Relais Sant'Elena, Bibbona, Tuscany, Italy.  

Wishing you a great week ahead.
