And everything (almost) is blooming and growing. This week, the kids are out of school for the summer. Put my vegetable patch in this weekend. Life is bursting at the seams! Is that how it is for you this time of year too?
It's so hard for me to stay indoors. Outside, there is so much life! For my sister gardeners, a few shots of what's blooming around here...
And thank you (a million times!) to all of you who ordered your Postmark LA book. We were blown away with the great response. So many sweet comments. Oh, please let us know how you like it. We love it, but want you to love it too...let us know!
The winner of the first quote piece is Camille...congrats! and I will be in touch with you. If you weren't the winner this time, you get to try again for this piece...
Just leave one comment on this post, and I will pick another winner in the next day or two. Just one more way to celebrate our new Postmark book.
Thanks so much for being great readers who appreciate all things lovely! Each of you mean so much to me.
I have ordered the book and cannot wait for it to arrive! Congrats to you all!!!!

I can't wait to get my book! And your garden is luscious. We've been remodeling our farmhouse kitchen and our garden was neglected this season. The chickens get to free range though!!! So excited for your success w/ your latest "baby". Well-deserved. You and all the girls!!! Hugs Rebecca-yours is a generous heart.

Hey You...
you surprised me with a new post -was on my way to visit some others from your list -anyways, that arch photo would be cool in one of your handwork pieces...just a thought. Have a happy, happy week.

Congrats to Camille! The flowers are all beautiful. No roses here yet and the peonies are just buds. Still enjoying the lilacs ~ such a heavenly scent! Blessings, Patricia

Unbelievable blooms! I can smell them all the way over in Northern VA!

Ooooh! Your flowers are beautiful! We are living in a rental temporarily and I did not do flower planting this year - not even in my containers. Life just got too crazy. When we get moved next month I'll have to do some planting. Thanks for sharing your wonderful blossoms.

The quote is too cute! Your flowers truly reflect your beautiful personality.

I'm so jealous of all the blooming plants. We're still looking at tulips where I live. I love peonies & it seems like they're still months away (alough that's probably an exaggeration).

beautiful flowers - I love May!!
Posted by: jen | 18 May 2008 at 21:19
THIS is why I love May! The fresh flowers - it's always just the thing to get us out of the winter mindset!
The book is amazing and I can't wait to purchase one!
