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! :)

Outta the nest, and sitting pretty

When I was watering the garden this morning, I noticed I was not alone. It seems that one of the babies Momma Mourning Dove had (yes, there were two in that nest and I have the pics to prove it..somewhere) wanted to stop by for a visit today. The other of Momma's offspring, didn't fare so well - I found his body beneath the hydrangea last week, and there he now rests.
Anyway, life goes on...beautifully.

The Garden is In...almost

Today was GLORIOUS! The weather was perfect, the sun was out! So, since it was also our day off, I spent the day planting the Morris-Jones 2009 garden. It's not much to look at now, but just wait a month. It's amazing how quickly it turns into a jungle.

Hand Picked

The art for the "Hand Picked" Lehigh Valley Collegiate Art Invitational was delivered today. Ron and I were so excited, we couldn't resist the urge to go ahead and unwrap and install everything! There are 60 students who were selected by the art department faculties from 6 different universities and colleges in the area. There's some really great work.

We're having and opening this Saturday from 4-7pm which is sure to be a blast!

Mother and Child

Here are the exclusive photographs of Baby Dove and Momma Dove! You won't find these anywhere else! Mother and child are doing well and respectifully ask the public to give them privacy during this very special time.

An afternoon at the Loom

Monday was our first "DAY OFF" in nearly a month, and I spent the majority of the day playing with my new loom. I'm weaving a bag for myself using some merino wool I hand-dyed and strips of green linen.

Sunday Afternoon Walk

Today was GLORIOUS. Warm, sunny, SPRING! Jess, Chris, Laura and I went on a lovely walk around Easton in the afternoon and ended up at the parklike Easton Cemetary.
