Outdoor Beauty
These last few days have been so nice..I could not resist taking lots of photos. The top photo is the 3 forked Mimosa (or silk tree) in the front yard. This is the home of the tree house that I can't bear to tear down...next photo is a red geranium that I planted yesterday... I know I post alot of these Quince flowers..but they are so breathtakingly beautiful...the bushes are just masses of color....I haven't spent too much time in the studio lately...(other than to clean something)...it's been too nice outside...Andy had four days off...we spent alot of time raking...burning...weeding...putting grass seed down..I've taken lots of walks with the camera around my neck and the animals at my heels...I've also been going through stacks of old magazines..Oprah...Living...Home Companion...Real Simple...This Old House...Handyman...Christmas...Rosie...Victoria....I am such a magazine FREAK! I can't throw all of them away...but I can weed them out...I've also been reading like crazy lately...I just finished a book ...A Storyteller's Life by Anne Chisholm. ...It's about the life of Rumer Godden..who wrote two of my favorite books....An Episode of Sparrows...and... In This House of Brede. I read both of these books when I was a teenager, and have never forgotten them.Today..maybe art...maybe outside....maybe some of both...it's abit cooler but the sun is shining bright!Labels: Outdoors
The Italian Cypress tree in the front yard....this tree is huge....I love to stand and put my head back and stare at this tree...I've never seen a cypress tree this tall. I remember when my Dad planted this tree for my Mom...many years ago...maybe 30?! The picture above is the lower road that comes into the front of the place...there is also an upper road...it makes a loop.Labels: Outdoors
