Lots of "green" things in my world this week!!!!!!
This is a planter from last summer now filled with ruffled petunias from a friend...I had recycled the soil and planted on last year's memories. I was sure that the astilbe had died over the winter.....but this week I found it growing up strongly through the broken Buchan stoneware mug (from Scotland with a Thistle handpainted on it).
These moments are similar to the ones in "The Secret Garden" where they find that lost and supposedily dead plants are still "wic" or alive!
I always feel blessed when something I though was lost, comes back to me like this!The photo of the geranium and the birdhouse shows that after a long winter inside, this plant is also "greening and growing"!
[These garden photos were taken by Mr. Pear this morning....I will be leaving him on his won for a few days while I go stay with my mother who is having cateract suregery.]
At mom's I will be handquilting on this "Summer Roses" quilt which uses some of the Kaffe Fassett fabrics (fat quarters) which I had purchased in October. I have framed this small quilt with a lighter border to represent a window frame...looking out into a garden!
