Roses and Floral Wallpaper


Just stopping by to say a fast hello. When we were at the doctor's office today I picked up a magazine that had an article about neat items. (Don't ask which magazine as I think I read three before the doctor called us in, then I read a new one on the "inside" waiting room.) It had this picture of floral wallpaper from anthropologie. Isn't it adorable? When you line it up like a "mural" it measures 9 feet by 6 feet. But then it says the roll is 9 feet by 6 feet. A total of 54 square feet. The cost? $298.00

The therapists said home rehab for my dad will be two months. Occupational and physical therapists visit daily except weekends. Nurses come as well. Meanwhile he can watch all the beauty of spring unfolding around us through a very large bay window! The day before it was 78 inside and 78 outside!

Painting new art is on hold for now. I keep a journal of my dad's activities and I should start jotting down ideas that zip by as I'm busy here.

Hopefully all are eating nutriteous food, exercising and enjoying your families!

HOT Burgundy Foliage Garden Colors



The colors just sizzle together; don't they? The burgundy foliage annual (for us in US zone 6) is an ornamental pepper called, "Black Pearl." The leaves are glossy and the color is "Hot!" Pair it up with orange and it's a smashing success. You could also choose an burnt orange crocosmia instead of an orchid.


(Do you think that this arrangement is up against stone? It is actually a chalkboard that has been erased over and over again and it has the patina of stone.)
