Sometimes my focus gets a little narrow here, just focusing on all the things that need taken care of here and now. Your "winter" sounds wonderful, and how bulbs up! Do you grow the same kinds we do or do you have exotic things we have never heard of?<br /><br />We are actually predicted to have mostly sun through the 4th of July weekend (our Independence Day) and through next week. Wow!Diane Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600107521265053816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168058613104710755.post-84553547029210419302011-06-29T21:36:57.744-07:002011-06-29T21:36:57.744-07:00I just love to see how you develop your wonderful ...I just love to see how you develop your wonderful structures. And that poppy - just divine. We are enjoying mostly mild days, not a lot of what you people would call winter, though we still complain when we think the temperature has dropped too much. But the garden keeps growing, bulbs are coming up and flowering and it really is a lovely time to be outside.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914350639398715648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168058613104710755.post-65177375999345203442011-06-27T11:39:54.591-07:002011-06-27T11:39:54.591-07:00Su...thanks for all the comments.

They are often at garage/yard sales, as well as Goodwill. <br /><br />As the poppy faded, it became even more papery and a dusty mauve color...gorgeous! Lots more buds, I am happy to say. <br /><br />And yes, that is a wood-fired ceramic horse head with the wisteria.<br /><br />We had two days of sun (but still barely 70), now it is cool and showery again...but good weeding weather for the long-neglected front yard.Diane Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600107521265053816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168058613104710755.post-49435835758154898512011-06-27T11:06:32.337-07:002011-06-27T11:06:32.337-07:00It's interesting to watch you build your piece...It's interesting to watch you build your pieces, and learn where the various bits came from and what you are thinking as you assemble them. Thanks for sharing and adding another dimension to the art. And I just passed up one of those wooden shelf things you use as a base. I'll know what to do with it next time!<br /><br />The poppy is gorgeous, and is that a ceramic horse head with the wisteria? Way cool.squidglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766345971400923438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168058613104710755.post-49290940888920951322011-06-25T08:46:13.983-07:002011-06-25T08:46:13.983-07:00Thanks, Rebeca!
