2 pix of same flowers

These daisies are called "Becky" and are a wonderful type of strong stemmed daisy-however, I DID NOT mean to post them twice, and tried unsuccessfully to edit one out. (I'm still learning this) Oh Well....

Garden Pix- Only the Beginning

Looks pretty barren, everything, except the transplanted hostas, look so small- lots of black fabric cloth first, to keep the weeding to a minimum, I hope

GARDEN OBSESSION

My GArdeN HAs gottEn AwAy from mE

Boy, ignore it for one season, and it goes berserk....... My garden(s) are large, and many....
Plus, it seems as though I'm always starting a NEW one, somehow. Not too bright!!!
Well, this year I'm trying to tackle a very large area, and take it from WILD to WONDERFUL.. But that takes so much time to have that VISION become a REALITY.. (On paper, it looks like a fabulous idea), Well, I'm getting there, bit by bit...... My pampas grass keeps popping up here, there, and everywhere, but I WILL TRIUMPH !! Even if my bill for MULCH each month rivals my house payment. So Here is some of the project in progress--

INSPIRE ME THURSDAY !!!

---BODY---PARTS---

Inspire me Thursday

Body Parts- this made me think of a painting I had recently finished,with a portrait of a child over a landscape image--HOWEVER-- Upon looking at my most recent photos(taken standing in the rain on the fourth of July under an umbrella) I was compelled to override the painting, and go with these FABULOUS ILLUSTRATION of a "body part" theme. Quite like nothing I've done before !

Get in shape!

Joined the GYM !

While at a party a few week ago, in the old neighborhood, I saw one of my friend's daughters, who I haven't seen for probably a year or two. She looked so fantastic, she had lost a lot of weight, and was in great shape. ( She has twins that are almost 3 now- so darling!) She looked amazing, and so happy, and full of energy- I just had to ask, " Sarah, How did you DO it? "
She said she had joined a gym, and with the help of her personal trainer ( I know it sounds weird) she works out 3 days a week, and THATS how she did it.....
Sarah, YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION-

I had already actually joined, several weeks before, and the gym hadn't opened yet, but seeing Sarah- set my resolve!!

So far, I've done very well, I must say, keeping my promise to myself- Wish me Luck!

Finishing Touches-

With the final few bits and pieces completed, it looks so good, I'm ready to start tearing another bathroom apart-(while we're still in the mood)

Not bad for what took about a week and a half, and under $600. with our labor !
(Bus and Lin, you were right about the rug!, thanks)
