These are for John to wear when he's teaching would be gardeners.

gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the picture. The garden looks great, too! Even with your tough spring it looks like things are growing.

It's finally warm. Tomatoes still look stunned. My basil died, so I replanted when I took the spinach row out. I'm look forward to snowpeas.

Happy winter solstice from the land down under, it's green garden time here not one tomato in sight!
Love your art Penelope. We have some fantastic weavers nearby - the Weavers of Oakbank SA.
Have you heard of the The Eleventh Hour Tapestries. Mary started 3 minutes world silence on 1st January 11am to remember the future and hope for world peace.
I wrote about her tapestries on our blog on the 11th December 2007.

Pretty? You betcha!

Appropriate? Not hardly.

The way you celebrate the solstice is with the dress you have on all the time. In short, jaybrid naked.

I think that might scare away the "would be gardeners" that John is trying to teach (with no intended insult to John). Having your gardening teacher show up in the buff might be intriguing, but(t) maybe not conducive to learning about when to plant your arugula:)

Very pretty, Morgan,

But have you any idea how long it takes to load a photo that large for those of us on dial up?

Please, in future, either make the pix smaller, or just link to it as Penelope did.

Thanx.

Lovely colors. I use a lot of purple and blue in weavings too. I also planted purple pansies and petunias. I think what we wear in our gardens and homes matters. We have a tendency to dress up when we go elsewhere, when home is where we can fulfill our dreams and fantasies and need color, texture, form, style to keep us aware of the pleasures and diversity of life.

With temps pushing 90 (celcius) and humidity at 70% I am for the naked option. Clothes are just too hot!!!!
