a bright and colorful weekend...

A few days ago, during a break in the weather, I took the following:

The Rhodys are about done for. 

The bees have been enjoying them while they can.

Some thyme ground cover

a bit of hardy fuchsia

and the lupins are finally shaping up.

I don't know where these bachelor buttons came from, but there is a nice clump of them coming up the driveway... and speaking of bachelors...

More shades of grey practice.  I needed some ideas so I decided to sketch the book I was reading "Bachelor Brothers' Bed and Breakfast" - a fun little book about life at a bed and breakfast, with lots of interesting tidbits about books to read.

 Numbers 18 and 19 of the Artful Alphabets class. Finally getting into a little more color.

This one is called "waterfull".

I was a little worried today because I couldn't find my camera anywhere!!! I was racking my brain for when I saw it last.  I was sure it was in the car, I looked everywhere I could think of three times.  Then, on a hunch, I went into the garage, into "no-woman's land" just to take a gander...there was my camera! sitting on top of a tool box!  Serves me right for showing hubby how to use it.  I was really happy to see it and realized how much I would miss it if it ever were missing for real!!!

I hope you are having a bright and colorful weekend!
