June's Tune

Whether the day be sunny or gray, all grows green and lush.

Job Shadow

Still gardening like mad. Will get back to my indoor studio this week!

Taking a Break

I've been busy planting flowers and veggies with my husband all week - he's taking some time off from work. So I've been neglecting my blog and all things computer. A Cyber Sabbath is a good thing. I'll be popping back in here in a few days. Happy June!

High Summer

Been spending most of my days outdoors, tending the yard and the gardens. I've been teaching, but I'm taking a break from drawing right now. Pulling weeds, trimming grass, deadheading, raking, mowing, picking berries and flowers, digging vegetables, hanging wash on the line - all this feels like I'm working on one great painting or installation, or piece of enormous sculpture. It's the same process and it yields a similar satisfaction. This time of year makes me especially aware that I am a living, breathing element in a grand piece of art...

Garry's Great Garlic

A full moon harvest!

Betwixt...

...and between working on the portraits that I can't share here yet, these are the things I am seeing. What does the approaching summer (or winter, if you are on the other side of the planet) look like in your backyard?
Happy Weekend, All!

And May Turns to June

Some pics from the last days of May here on Miller Mountain.

Happy June!!!
