I have POPPIES!!! - Garden Update

Today the first poppies bloomed, and they are stunning! It's taken me three years of patience waiting for the plant to grow and mature to the point where it would flower, and it was well worth the wait. The flowers are 6-7 inches across and there are about 18 of them waiting in the wings to blossom. It's going to be quite the show.

We brunched, I weeded the garden, and did some office work. Karen Feder is out visiting for the weekend, and she and Ron are in his studio recording some test tracks for the TOP SECRET musical. We're all going to Becky's Drive-In this evening to watch a double feature. Life is good.

Garden Update on a Rainy Day

"Hand Picked" Reception

The day continues to be amazing. The sun is out, and so is everyone else.
We had an amazing turnout at the reception for "Hand Picked", and a fun time was had by all!

The Return of the Farmer's Market

Today was the start of the 257th year of the Easton Farmer's Market, the longest, continously operated outdoor, producer only, farmers market (and the start of our second year at the market). It was a glorious day, the square was filled with people, and the circle was packed with vendors, both new and returning. Great morning, indeed. This afternoon is the reception for "Hand Picked".

The 100th Post

Well, I can hardly believe it myself. But, after countless false starts, abandoned diaries, and sorted other attempts at documenting the day-to-day magic of life, I've some how arrived at my 100th POST! What brilliance.

I thought our new Marigold Yellow Squirrel Gallery Pet standing tall beneath a spray of white lilacs would be a nice visual accompaniment to this momentous occasion! :)
