Talking without words

I am

I am:

Watching videos from this class and am about to splash some color over this sketch.

Enjoying my garden (this is parsley, planted from seed November last year).

Loving these two and the way they interact and sail through her teenage years (you can't see in the photo,
but the sandwich is super special with extra amazing ingredients made with love by Hana for her Dad).

Jumping up and down when I see a pretty bird like this:

Feeling happy, relaxed and centered today.

Happy Sunday!

Just another spread in the Moleskine

Enjoying the company of my journal

She loved flowers...

Remember her?

I think she's finished now.

Since it was a nice day and I knew she liked roses, I decided to take her out and see how she looks with other flowers.

I think she loved my zinnias.

My favorite lavender plant.

I don't know why I love it so much, but I do. I can't stop looking at it.

I think the hydrangeas look good with her too.
Those poor darlings were completely wilted on Saturday when we had an unexpected ultra-hot day.
 I was so happy to see them looking healthy the next morning.

If you plant a painting, what will grow?

It's 65º and windy now, so we are both back inside.

I hope you enjoyed this little photo shoot in my backyard.

Time to cozy up with a cup of mint tea and dream about something nice.

"She loved flowers" is available on etsy.

Happy smiles

This was a big and happy day for our family. Our boy graduated from college with a degree in psychology. And I was smart enough to buy waterproof mascara yesterday, as I first started crying when I saw all those young kids in their black gowns (on over 90 degrees, noon, in the middle of a meadow in CA hills - super hot), and continued through different stages of the long process. I can't believe that the time past so quickly. And that he made it seem so easy... Super extra very proud.  

I made a photo collage several years ago showing how he changed over time and turned from my baby into a young man. So cool!

My heart is smiling.
Thanks for making me feel comfortable enough to share.
