They really are quite remarkable creatures. This little one was quite lively, and navigated the thorny rose with bravado. It was fascinating to watch. I just didn’t have it in me to kill it... #snail #snailsThe little bronze figures I made back in school always make me happy when the afternoon sun strikes just so. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. Haven’t had time to be out here much, but I really needed a day in the garden to turn my back on the world, and forget all its evils. Their struggle to climb the screen is a often a good reality check, but it’s not quite working for me today. I feel we have blood on our hands - on at least two fronts. I wonder where I’d turn if I didn’t have a garden...? #feelingfortunate #tryingtoescape #thesolaceofagarden #mybackyardA view from the roof is always interesting. Taking advantage of the sunshine to take down this monstrous #clematisaarmandiiappleblossom #plantsthateatbuildings #makingthehubbyhappy Oh well... a spring without flowers, but it’ll grow back. This time I will keep it in check, though!We had a few too many pet accidents lately, so today was rug cleaning day. The old rug got a good schampooing with the power washer, and while I was at it, I washed three other rugs too. This one I did last, and as I was almost done, I realized the sky had gotten awfully dark. By the time I had put everything away, it was thundering and big wet drops were hitting the driveway. I guess that means everything gets an extra rinse. But, I just had to snap a quick picture of how good that rug looked against that ominous sky. #fallcolors at their best!After a week of rain, I took advantage of the sunny day, and worked on the houseboat project. It was such a pretty day... #makingupforlosttime #containerplanting #rootballsareheavy #plantingisfun #dirtundermynails #beautifulday #opticvervedesignSo nice to see the abundabce of bright young humans standing up for their future. I had good intentions, but got tied up in a meeting, so I got there late, and the crowds of people were dispersing. Feel bad about not planning better for it, but glad to see the turnout was so great. Good for you, kids! Can’t wait for the older generation to be phased out, so you can take over. #climatestrike #climatechange #climatechaosrebellion #climate #climatechaos #stopclimatechange #stopclimatechangenow #extinctionrebellion #portlandoregon #omsi

Wednesday Vignette – confetti
I’m in a bit of a state of disbelief about out weather. It’s been raining for three days – IN FREAKIN’ SEPTEMBER!!! What’s up with that?? Big, wet, sloppy drops drenching anyone who ventures outside, in mere minutes. It would … Continue reading

Wednesday Vignette – SO last year…
This is the time of year when style gurus from Pantone and all the paint companies come up with their trend forecasts. I think it’s fun in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, but on a creative level, it always bothers … Continue reading
