It was a sweet morning. Lu and I walked to the post office and made our rounds. First check the box, then go see Noreen for some beef jerky and a chat. I’m happy that it’s Friday and it’s warm and that there were so many captivating things in the yard this morning, and that I received the most beautiful gift box with the most
beautiful necklace in the world. Thank you Rie!!!! It is a treasure.

Fall has arrived.
  
There are nasturtiums in the hedge.






































and Japanese Beetles in the roses.
I have one ripe tomato
and several green marbles on the bush. Not at all like last year’s
tomato tree. This is more of a 
tomato bonsai in comparison.

Well, that’s done.
I hung my stitches at the library. 
They don’t look good. I didn’t do 
a very good job of hanging them either and now I’m worried some of 
the bigger pieces may fall off the walls. Since that won’t break them
 I guess I’ll just stop worrying now and move on.
A Big Thank you to the lovely
Miss G for doing such a beautiful
house tour on her stunning and inspiring blog,
Of Peacocks and Paisley. 
Tour here.

I woke before dawn this morning and wandered around. I felt like I was having a double rainbow moment with all the golden light and silence sprinkled on my beautiful messes.

In the studio…

In the house…

back in the studio…

eventually I will be forced to
dress and go outside the castle gate.

It’s 81 degrees here tonight, the hottest it’s been all summer and Tearful is away for the night. Lu and I went to the lair to cool off and the light made everything stand up and say hello.

 

Lilies


Geranium
Flowering Oregano

Cheju Island rock man.

So lovely to have one summer night!

Spent another weekend in LA and found something else to love about it.

Peacocks!!!! 
Wandering the streets!!
No one told me that was happening down there. What the what?
Really? How utterly amazing and enchanting! 
We visited the LA Arboretum where they were also wandering about and though I didn’t find any tail feathers I found a smallish one and these tiny little flowers from a giant tree.

 

We had Pho in Chinatown.

Watched some dancing.

 and best of all, spent time with our daughter.
