Oh, heavenly day!
If the glories sprouting on my windowsills and in my own homemade little starter pots were not enough...
... if the splendor in my own garden didn't lend me enough eye candy...
I knew a trip to Skagit Valley Gardens would provide an overload of inspiration. I could not leave well enough alone. Of course.
I phoned Anne-Marie and tempted her to hop in the car and zip north for a Grand Shopping Trip.
I bought a giant ostrich fern, unable to resist its dramatic unfurling. (Note to self: when something is labeled giant, I will in future inquire just how "giant" the giant will be. I returned to the studio only to discover the fern is expected to be taller than yours truly!)
Blooming quinces, viburnum, even a poppy!
Then the mad dash for children at school and deadlines back in the studio...
I have been snipping away madly and playing in the ink pots again.
