Seeking Shelter


Taking every possible opportunity to enjoy these long hot days of summer.

The sun has arrived, along with the sound of cicadas and the occasional slap of the screen door.
Time to take shelter.

  1. Thoroughly enjoyed the picture tour.

    Something deeply rewarding knowing the common & Latin names.

  3. I'll do the common, Tara can do the Latin, and Barb, you can do the publishing. Sounds like a swell idea! Thanks for stopping by friends.

  7. Hi Lisa, I haven't stopped by in awhile. Crazy busy here, decorating other people's homes in California. In a good way, thought. Love your lamb's ears, lavender, thyme, dusty miller. All my favorites. Have you been to Sissinghurst? I hear the white garden is amazing. Hugs dear girl, Shiree'
