TRIM JOB

For Mother's Day 2016,

my son drove me all over tarnation to find the perfect supplies

 to build my own Fairy Garden. 

 If you click on that link you can see it in it's early stages.

Since that time it has morphed into this unrecognizable planter below.

The good news is that it loves it's location,

the bad news is...

well I guess there isn't any other then I can't find my fairy or her home anymore.

So this weekend I gave her a trim and there she be with her birds,

 pumpkin and clay tepee (used to be a roof over a porcelain birdhouse that broke,

but I couldn't bare to throw it away.

I think tonight I'll put up a closer view so you can see her better.

I guess it's still a bit overgrown,

but it's happy.

WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART?

Begonias, Mandevilla & Impatiens 

ROOTS & WINGS

Collecting Plants & Making Fairy Gardens...

and adding Succulents to the patio wall.

Buying Tropical Plants with super cool flowers 

at the most spectacular nursery along the Newport Coast,

one of my favorite places in the whole world.

And collecting seashells at the sea shore in Corona Del Mar...

with my beautiful boy last weekend.

Then receiving a glorious orchid bouquet the next weekend...

with brunch down in Laguna Beach

and a pit stop to see the Rescued Seals.

A visit to a new yarn store,

and time made to place flowers on my mother' grave...

with my incredibly thoughtful and patient daugther.

A mother couldn't feel more loved or cherished.

Thank you Zach and Danielle for always coming back to the nest that I built for you,

for taking time out of your hectic & crazy lives to spend these days with me.

What a special treat from the both of you.

I couldn't ask for more wonderful children.

Everyday with the two of you in my life has been a blessing and a joy.
