Blooming May

 

I've carved out a new corner for painting.

 

 

It started as a sketch for a larger painting, to try out different colors.

But I just kept going and now its nearly done.

 

 

 

(I'm trying to figure out where to add a hedgehog.)

 

 

So mulling, I took a trip through the garden. My pentstemon have never bloomed like this~

 

 

The catmint is soft and smells almost minty. I guess that's why its named catmint.)

 

 

 

The Mexican sage is growing about an inch a day, I think it looks like giant lavender

 What's May without Petunias?

 The Cecile bruenner rose has taken over the stairway

 

I've got new clay things made, and I was so over the lunar scape to buy this vintage wallpaper. Almost enough for a wing wall somewhere. I wish I could make a dress out of it!

 

 

This little corner of the garden is special, because almost everything is a volunteer,

The lemon balm, little ground cranesbill and even the daisy, just popped up.

Only the geranium is planted, an anniversary gift from the Mr.

 

 

After all that mulling, I still can't decide where to put the Hedgehog, she must be in the house, baking a strawberry pie.

Tea~ish

Hello!

 

 

I had a tea party for my sister and friends~

We placed the furniture just in time, so there were plenty of seats

 

Pulling up and going through the garden was the start;

Then the gals had to step up one set of stairs,

then another,

then they could look down at how far they'd climbed

and have salad, and sandwiches and tea things

I'm chopping cucumbers here I think.....

Since the tea I've been painting and pottering for a rather large listing this week.

There's the painting 'White Dog'

And donkey domes and spoons,

 

and some vegetables and I'm not sure what all there is~

And then maybe another Tea Party?

Yes!
