Export to PDF | Export to DOCElephant Ears are one of my newfound loves for the garden since moving to South Carolina in 2008. These monster big plants are virtually maintenance-free.

Export to PDF | Export to DOC Do you realize that today’s date is 10/10/10? Oh-to-be-born on this remarkably ordered numeric day, for the fun you’d have filling out the date-of-birth area on any forms for your entire life. I think you’d always feel a certain sense of pride every time you filled in […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCMy friend Kay is a photographer. She just e-mailed me these photos, to use as inspiration for some future paintings. They are so striking and cheerful, that I just needed to share them with you too. Don’t they just make you smile? Have a sunny weekend!
