Love this today and your positive messages. And I loved reading your piece in Garden Rant about your “brown” garden - so many intriguing plants! And yay for baby Ruby!

My houseguests have gone to see Art's fraternal twins (boy & girl) born July 17. They were each about 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 1/2" long - now that's a lot of baby weight/length! Looking forward to Baby Ruby news and photos, and I'm so happy for your son/DIL!

Wishing you time to relax and take in that beauty in your garden, Lorene. I so enjoy your color studies!!! They help me see the details in each plant and flower. And I find I remember now, to take a second look at that poppy or snapdragon. Thanks for showing us again and again what is there for us to see, too!
