Summer Garden

I have been neglecting my blog for months now, life keeps getting in the way.
We took Miss Bean to the vet in the city yesterday. I found a growth on the back of one of her legs a couple of weeks ago, it started to bleed a few nights ago.
It's a tumor, and it is vascular. She will need to have it removed, the appointment was for Monday morning, I changed it this morning. She is on an antibiotic for 10 days and I would like the infection cleared up before her surgery. We will be watching her closely, if it grows she will be going back to the vets sooner than later. What a stressful month, losing Kinoje and now having Cali sick. Dog stuff is family stuff to Mark and I.
I took a few photos around the gardens and greenhouse in an attempt to relax a little. I must say even though we have been plagued with chipmunks and bugs, the gardens are doing pretty good.

Blue Sky Sunny

A few days ago I went for a walk with Mark and the dogs. Cali, Miss Bean was frantic to eat grass so we went with her in search of just the right variety. Our dogs are like dairy cows when it comes to grass... it does seem to do the trick for them.
Today we are back in winter mode, a winter wonderful of snow! I will take some photos tomorrow if it hasn't all melted.

Twisted Water Star

I just discovered that my t-west treasury graced the front page of Etsy early this morning. Congratulations to all the fabulous artisans!
It has been a while since I have had a collection on the front page.
Thank you Etsy admin!

Spring Ice Fog..

Pearls and glass, who could ask for anything more! I love how the soft, transparent blues and greens play with the silver grey of the pearls, it's very lovely!

Knock, Knock, Who's There?

I was in the porch the other morning photographing jewelry when the dogs came to peek in the window to see what I was doing. They were very excited to find me there! Aren't they cute!
