A few pictures...

This meme has taken me a while to do (I'm still missing a couple requests) but here are three for samarra




My kitchen - cleaner than usual...and for some reason the floor here looks kind of orange-grey, though it's sagey green. I still don't have the art glass in the upper cabinets - I'm looking for a good glue-chip for it.






My smiling rock - it's sandstone with bits of shell in it, to have a naturally cheery nature. My husband found this for me on the beach on our honeymoon, over 18 years ago now... It's about the size of a ping-pong ball.





I love so many colors, greens mostly - but this quilt my mom made for me has such lovely teals, greens and purples in it I thought it would do.


And for estellye -




This doesn't *quite* qualify, as it isn't artistic art, but I dearly loved this one. It's a poem my son wrote in school about his mom:

My mom has hair like grass in the wind, her eyes are like the sun.
Her singing is like pure crystal, She's like a flower in ways.
At times she's like a wolf, at others she's like a lamb.
She's like a primula, she's like a cat in ways.
My mom is like a rose, she's just as beautiful.

The wolf part made me laugh - when he's in trouble, yeah!





I had to think about this one for a while. Where do I go and talk to the sunshine? I realized it was in my greenhouse, where I go to listen to the rain on the glass, to talk to the plants, to pray and be thankful, surrounded by living green, especially in summer when the grapevines climb up over it.





My front door - I really splurged on a pretty one when we replaced the old wood one. It lets so much light in, and gives us rainbows at sunrise. I love it! I picked out green flagstone for the step - it used to be cheap brown linoleum. o.0



More later on...

Thanks - I do too. The old kitchen was all dark wood and very icky - it really brightened up the room to have the lighter cabinets. We ladies all spend so much time in our kitchens, it's a treat to have it also be a place we enjoy.
