Cathy, I love love love the backyard watercolors with your penciled writing. Oh man. That just sends me. I just realized I need to start a sketchbook for doing that, like a garden journal.
Pencil is timeless - this could be from one of our grandmothers.
And hasn't the weather been incredible? Even the heat yesterday was great, and we managed to avoid the AC.
Wonderful little garden journal paintings!
