What's Blooming? Hosta's & things


Click for closer view

I have a few varieties of hosta's in my backyard. Which I love. I have a beautiful pink rose. I planted some phlox in my antique wooden planter. The daylilies are in bloom. My hydrangea is suffering from southern heat and one of the coleus that I experimented with by bringing it inside for winter is slowly looking better, however the color isn't as vibrant.











Daily Face: May 13th Farewell

Today was my last day of working in the School Clinic of 15 years. It was a big decision to move on from my part-time position to a full time position.  I always enjoyed part-time because it did not interfere with me being a mom first and since I worked for the school I was always off when they were off. Our last daughter went off to college in 2015 so now I am moving to the hospital to work in the Pediatric ER.
Now I have to figure out what I will do for my daily drawing. I had always admire artist who had daily painting or illustration, it took me a long time to find my niche. There was not much inspiration in my little office, until I started to draw faces of the children who would come in. I do not know what is in store for me at the hospital. Maybe I can sketch on my lunch break?
I did draw a week of extra portraits just in case.

Today I started telling the children that this would be my last year working in the school clinic.

Tidbits of My Life.













I was finally able to harvest some of my strawberries. Something was devouring them before we could pick them.











I finally saw a real Tiny House. I love to watch all of the episodes of Tiny House, Tiny House Hunters and Tiny House Hunting. Do you think you could get rid of all your stuff and go small? That idea is daunting to me. But it can be done, just by changing your mindset.
