Sea Of Life

Well kids, do you feel like I've abandoned you? My entire life has been taken over by wedding season. I'm trying to restructure things a bit, and hopefully it will lighten my load. Lately, I've felt like this little boat, being swept along, by the sea of life. Thankfully I enjoy the work, or it would be a complete shipwreck.
I hope all of you are doing well. I miss you.

Lilacs

Out in the yard is a tall lilac tree/bush, and at the tippy-top of the tree (where I couldn't reach them) these beautiful lilacs were blooming. I'd sit on the couch and look out the window longing to pick and sniff them. They were mocking me! This went on for a few days. Then one afternoon, my daughter and I were sitting out on the deck, and I told her about how cruel the lilacs were being. She said that if we worked as a team we might be able to get them. She carefully bent the limbs, I reached up high, and together, I was able to get  my hands on these lovelies. I was thrilled! I've been thoroughly enjoying them ever since. The light shining through them is enchanting, and I have taken countless photos. Here are just a few. You can see why I wanted them so badly, right?

Fowl On A Friday

Recently, we stopped at a little roadside farm to pick up some fresh veggies. We got leeks, chard, spring onions, and a couple variety of kale. They also had a commercial kitchen where they made jam, jelly, and butters. We picked up a persimmon and cinnamon butter that is delicious! I've been using it to make peanut butter and jelly/butter sandwiches. It's really a treat. While we were waiting for our veggies we had a nice visit, and photo shot,  with their chickens. They had a whole bunch of them.So, I thought for a change, I'd share some fowl on a Friday. Have a nice weekend everybody.

Flowers On A Friday - Wedding Flowers

Sorry, I've been neglecting the ole blog a bit lately. I have been swamped with wedding-flower work. I thought I'd share some show-and-tell. Here are a couple of the bouquets I've been working on.

 Have a nice weekend everybody!

Hope You Have A Lovely Weekend

My Coworker

This is the sight I see whenever I work on the computer. Nessa (AKA Miss Mouse) loves to sit right next to me and watch me work.We have had more than one discussion about tails on the keyboard. Her favorite job is supervising the printer. She loves to watch the sheets of paper make their way through this office favorite. She is one of the most dedicated coworkers I've ever worked with.

Flowers On A Friday - Ready

Spring flowers are on their way. Are you ready?

Playing With Images - Touch The Sky

So, I've been playing with more images that have been hanging around in my camera. I thought you'd find it interesting to see the before's, and after, image. The before images:

Sort of an interesting beginning, with a long way to go. After a bunch of Photoshop magic, and some fancy layering:

I call it Touch The Sky. I'm pretty happy with it. I like the message, and I think the image works pretty well too.
