having the Birmingham Museum of art in my backyard
with my kids home for summer vacation, we’ve turned to making crafts in the art studio. i decoupaged the cages & the sign onto an ugly birdhouse. i do have instructions for doing so…in this blog (i think the post is titled 2me4art project birdhouses). the Birmingham Museum of Art’s gift shops bags are clear…
high praise indeed
just thinking of all the compliments this sun worshiping orchid got in the store…
i love blue
i think i’m going to start a collection of blue glass. i love, love, love it empty or not. i found these at Leaf & Petal in Mountain Brook Village, Alabama.
what my garden gave me today
truthfully, the roses are from whole foods. i do have roses like the ones i’ve photographed, but the bush gives me about two a day. the strawberries? i picked from my gardens & ate them after taking their picture. the blue hydrangea is HUGE & will give me flowers for weeks & weeks.
sunlight streams through coal ash
my neighbor used a blower to clean out his grill & it looked like a dragon exhaled. the ash traveled into our backyard. it was pretty darn cool.
lamb’s ear meets the bee
both look inviting to touch, although the bee may not welcome your touch
the southern magnolia
when i was living in Vermont, i read about life in the deep south. i read of the legendary Magnolia. moving to Alabama in 1993, i had high expectations. the magnolia is an evergreen tree. the foliage during the winter is deep, dark green, it’s leaves are glossy & firm, which is nice when everything…
as luck would have it…
the rain Mother Nature dropped on us knocked the leaf into it’s opposite colored grass & i happened to have camera in hand.
can you believe these are real?!
from my gardens, into my vase.
