The favorite old dog. His recent liver test is much better, but still shows that he has a problem.

The iris of spring. . . rediscovered.

Secrets of the hosta

Intricate beauty within the flower. Seen at Willson's Nursery, Petoskey, Michigan.

Late blooming seedling columbines

These fairytale beauties are part of a generous crop of seedlings of the yellow version of Origami Columbines. I plan to never grow anything else for my columbine fix. Look at the delicate coloring and dainty structure!

Wild apple

I tramped through the roadside ditch to get some of these small apples which have been glowing on hedgerow trees for weeks now. By the time we stopped most of the low ones were gone, probably to deer. S thought they might be crabapples, but now we think they are just small apples, growing wild. I have been taking photos of them, and their adorable defects. I am going to plant the seeds along our hedgerow, just for the perhaps of the future.

Little red house on Indian River

Just begging to be sketched as we motored by with a young fellow at the wheel.

Look, some chicken wire!

This is a companion piece to the one I put on The Memory Thread tonight. Girls just wanna have fun!
