May Morning in the Garden

Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.”

I know, I know. I've been here before, but clicked over this time from your comment on mine...just thought I'd add that I just love your header shot...the sun peeking through the flowers is just wonderful.

You grow the prettiest HH> I remember them from last year. And what are the yellow flowers? I don't recognize them. I love the way you've composed that photo with your house.

Dear Quiet,
Those hollyhocks just seem to get better every year and, best of all, they do it on their own with no help from me! The yellow flowers are on the Desert Bird of Paradise Tree/Shrub, also known in our yard as The Bertie Memorial Tree, received as a gift to be planted in the memory of our little dog Bertie Pierre.

I'm crazy about hollyhocks and these are gorgeous! I MAY be in Santa Fe housesitting during the month of July.

Kate, that sounds exciting. You need a dose of New Mexico!

I love that top quote Clair! Your place looks SO lovely w/ all the color! I'm working on getting moved in to my new place & cleaning out the studio at school for the end of the semester. My nephew comes to visit this week- I'm so excited! I'm working on finding the best Green Chile Cheese burgers for his visit :)
