With Washington in a state of a panic over the recent snow (the news is calling it “snowpocalypse”. no I am not kidding) I have been happily using this quiet time to paint every surface in sight. The kitchen, hall and my bedroom are now all warm shades of yellow. Woohoo! So, until I can make it into town to upgrade my gear, we’ll have to suffer through some flowery photos from the summer.
When I finally get my farm, with acres and acres of open land, I’m planting 100ft of this beauty!

| not sure what was going on with that dorky yellow ribbon. it was later replaced with some vintage French beauties from my stash. |
Everything else was from the garden. I still can’t get over what beautiful abundance I get to work with during the season. While it’s an ass kicker to grow it all, I still feel absolutely spoiled every single time I go out to harvest.
This whopper includes: Peonies (mystery white), Aruncus (goats beard), Valerian, Icelandic Poppies, Digitalis (foxglove), Raspberry foliage with immature fruit, Rosa multiflora, Lonicera tartarica (bush honeysuckle), Lonicera Americana ( common honeysuckle vine), Aquilega ‘McKana Hybrids’ (large flowered columbine) and Alchemilla mollis (lady’s mantle).

I hear ya sister. I have to delete a folder of pictures off of my computer every time I want to write up a proposal or edit a picture. And…my phone is full too. I resorted to taking pictures on it because I couldn't fit any more on my computer. Time for some prioritizing.
I want to live in that bouquet, I would sleep inside the peony.
