Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Wednesday Vignette - Remember When?

Wednesday Vignette is hosted by the delightful and talented Anna at Flutter and Hum.  Flutter on over there and see what all the hum is about this week!

Remember when the sky was a beautiful clear blue, the sun wasn't red and it wasn't snowing ash?  On On a beautiful day in July I had the pleasure of visiting Karen Brindley's garden in Indianola, designed by  our favorite cowboy, Shayne Chandler.  Notice the yellow Tibetan prayer flags on the left side of the image; they're a clue as to who gardens next door.  Stay tuned for a full tour of this stunning garden.  Maybe I should save it for a soggy winter day...

  1. I see a table and chair in the foreground. Can't imagine the pleasure of morning coffee with that view!

  2. I must be what Picture Perfect means. I could look at this view all day long.
    Can't wait for the ash to be gone, on the other hand, it's worse to get swallowed by Irma.

  3. Picture perfect is right! Can't wait to see the full report... As for delightful and talented (you're far too kind) - right now I feel more like a raging, out of control mama bear. If the kids that started the fire in our beloved Gorge were mine, I would probably be guilty of filicide by now. Jeez...

  6. I feel like this week, and perhaps these last day of summer are being taken away from me, going up in smoke. I see that red sun and know the blue sky is right up there, but lost to us in the smoke.

    That next door garden looks like a good reason to return to Windcliff, if they do a double in the future.

  7. With those madrones, I actually thought this WAS an early incarnation of Windcliff! Makes sense that it's next door. How lucky to have that as the neighboring property. Looking forward to seeing more of this garden, as well!

  11. So beautiful! I hope the wildfires die back soon! Do you have some rain in the forecast? Thinking about you guys and the flood victims frequently these days.

    1. The forecaster on the radio said there is a slight chance of showers in a couple of days but accuweather shows no precipitation for at least a couple of weeks.
