Sunday Mishmash

Here are some things that make me happy on this beautifully sunny and cool Sunday!

A new centerpiece for our outside table, created by Daniel! 
A black lizard inspecting the hydrangeas.
Actually, he was upside down like this:
Pretty impatiens planted in colorful pots (thank you, Daniel!). Actually, the pot in the back I painted with acrylic paints about four years ago - it's been outside ever since and has held up beautifully. I think I might paint some more of them...
Flowers in my kitchen.
Even more flowers in my kitchen!
Sweet Ramses contemplating life...
Winslow, inspecting my artwork!
And four originals that made it into my Etsy shop. Click here to take a look at all the originals and prints I am listing and adding to almost daily. I am getting my act together, people, and it feels great!!

    Good morning pretty! I love the way you notice the little things that matter. What a beautiful day but I am still in bed in my jammies and computer on my lap because I am on call and got paged before I had the chance to wake up. I see a beautiful day. Your post inspires me to get up and go outside. Maybe I will set up my laptop in the garden!!! YAY! Remain beautiful. Tsup!

    Oh, Silke, how I miss the little lizards. I loved watching them skitter across our porches and up and down the sides of the house. I couldn't take enough pictures of them. So cute.
    Your flowers are so pretty right along with your paintings. It sounds like a beautiful day for relaxing in your yard.

    lovely signs of spring from the looks of it. lizards are always fun to spot, they are fairly rare here but an occasional sighting happens. I love your painting Once Upon A Time. Your price is more than reasonable, but my budget is tight. I need to sell something first out of my own etsy!
