Spreading and Sharing

I just received a wonderful note from Ludmil. I miss him and Linda so much and love to share....via this magic and sometimes tragic[for me] thing called the world wide web. He reported on his garden in Texas. He has always created beautiful gardens wherever they have set up home. Often to his dismay......as it is for all gardeners.......the labor and time they demand can be daunting.

The report today included one on the hollyhock plants that have been growing from the seeds which they took home after a visit. Nearly 6ft. tall and it seems ready to produce the first flowers. I know the excitement!!!!!!! One is never quiet sure what bloom colors one has as hollyhocks cross pollinate. I know the plants will be happy in Texas and I am happy they are travelling and spreading the joy they give me.

A long quiet spell

Spring has definitely made a showing and gloriously at that. My life becomes a whirl in the garden and in the house as I am also working hard on my art. With Sixpence opening in June and Thea having wonderful plans for her shop, my mind and house are under beautiful piles of paper, ribbon and sea shells.

We think of Grandpa Paul often as we take up the business
of our daily lives.
