Tryna Paint | A Few Other Things First

So many parts to my little life: editing, gardening, doing stuff for church. . . but I was ‘posed to be painting. Look! This crape myrtle tree isn’t dead after all! Hey! Why are these iris hiding? This sign will be repurposed, but first Trail Guy had to scrape off old lettering, and then I […]

Morning Walk in Three Rivers

This was on March 26, so things already don’t look like this. Spring goes too fast, particularly when we get early days of heat. And look at my yard when almost everything bloomed at the same time because of the early heat. Spring will end soon, and I will remember that this blog is supposed […]

Even More Spring in Three Rivers

Okay, it’s just pictures of spring in my yard. And I took these photos 2 weeks ago. Just hanging on to every last drop. Herb Garden first. Why do I have an herb garden? Because when we first moved to Three Rivers, I was desperately looking for anything the deer wouldn’t eat. Eventually I cobbled […]

More Spring in Three Rivers

Yes, some repetition here. This little segment of the yard is stunning, and I try to look at it different times of the day, every single day. Enjoying our seasonal “lawn”, which is mowed weeds, irrigated by rain. Lilac! P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, K.C.!

Eleven Things Learned in March

Loving Spring in Three Rivers

Let’s just enjoy some photos. Or how about you enjoy them while I recover from the book project, Springville’s Hospital. And then, I headed to church to work on Phase II of the landscaping project begun a couple of years ago.

Mid-day Walk in Three Rivers

Was it mid-day? or mid-morning? Dunno. Nobody cares. Let’s have some photos. Oops, these are from the early morning walk. Look how much the tulip opened in the 1/2 hour we were on the walk! This is Ray Hartman ceanothus, maybe the best one I’ve seen. There are several in the neighborhood. I like this […]

Field Trip

A dear friend had a birthday and expressed a desire to see my Ivanhoe library mural. I thought we’d just have a little tour, ending with lunch at Super Taco in Woodlake. We barely made the trip before all the green went away. This happens when it gets hot in March. Tryna not be greedy, […]

Morning Walk in Three Rivers

Before the sun hit the ridge across the canyon. Same flowers, after the sun hit the hills across the canyon. Comb Rocks. Now, back to book editing, photo editing, photo captioning and placing, and book formatting.
