May Preparations

Like the plants shyly peeking their tips out of the soil to see if it is safe to come out yet, it feels like I am preparing a bunch of events that aren’t happening yet. May will be busy with 3 art fairs coming up. June is also starting to shape up as a busy […]

Brilliant Blooms

I’ve returned from my cabin getaway and will tell you more about that soon. Right now, I am basking in the springy sunshine too much to sit and write. I love this part of the season where petals unfurl in their brightest finery. Pink is trending. So pretty. My favorite scent is everywhere. I think […]

Angel Outing

This week I am taking a break in a cabin, so you get some angel-bombs today. We strolled to the lake and hung out for a few minutes. Trees are blossoming. You can see the bloomy creations this inspired at Saturday’s Shop Local Fair at Sauganash Elementary School (6040 N Kilpatrick in Chicago) from 9 am […]

Tulip Love

Life is blooming here with trees awakening and birds beginning to nest. Blossoms abound in wide arrays of color. Tulips are the most dominant beauties this month. Sunshine and warmth brings so much joy. The amazing colorations of these flowers are fascinating. Even showers cannot dampen my spirit with all the color and fragrance. My […]

Could it be Spring?

Could it be? Did Winter finally get the memo to make way for Spring? I saw buds pop up last week only to be covered by snow. But now the majority of ice blobs have melted, and these sprouts just might have a chance! There are still remnants of ice. This was February 22. And […]

My amazing technicolor dreamcoat

Spring has returned to us, gradually revealing earth and grass under the thick blanket of snow and ice we’ve lived with for the past month. I’m eagerly exchanging my snow boots for regular shoes, and the goose down coat is going back into the closet. Instead I get to wear my cheerful She Wore Blue […]

Life is Blossoming

So yeah, I’m the eccentric woman crouching in front of other people’s gardens these days. Only my photo time stamp tells me I do this for 40 minutes or so. Ooops. To me it feels like I only spend ten minutes snapping pretty petals. Oh well, call me crazy, but seeing these blooms fills my […]

Savoring small blessings

I heart my life. The past few weeks have been filled with planning and creating and pushing myself. So it is good to step out and put life in perspective by inhaling the fragrant air and observing nature for a spell. New life is emerging throughout the neighborhood. A day trip also reminded me of […]

In love with May flowers

The other day it was overcast, but I felt totally in love. May certainly has my heart this year. Sure, it requires allergy relief (I use the homeopathic Sabadil from Whole Foods), but I was ready to swoon at the sight of the vibrant colors and gorgeous flowers. It was raining petals while birds were […]
