the new year begins... cold and frosty
and was spent JOYously lazy...the whole day spent on the couch reading
The Night Circus...have you read it? A magical read that I can't put down. I don't always want to see favorite reads made into movies but I kept thinking this one could be wonderful. As I googled for a link to the book I see that it is indeed scheduled to be released as a film in 2014.
wishing for you peace and JOY in the coming year
Settling in to a beautiful spring...blue skies vying with amazing storm cloud skies...every shower bringing more bloom and green to the Mango Studio
lazy evenings...drawing from life
and book projects...I may hold some sort of record for publishing blurb books. This one to chronicle memories of the transition of our little home, you can peek in here...
while there is no place like home its always fun to go away too...to visit new places, see old friends
I'll be back with tales to share
The rains of the past few days have turned the view outside the Mango Studio bright spring green, flowers blooming, basil, tomatoes and cucumbers thriving.....bird song chattering, Melly taking it all in.
I have started a Garden Journal where I am tracking the growth in the garden, new things planted, old varieties kept up with.....drawings of the ever changing view pepper the pages.
The bright green leaves bring back memories of our time with Maxine....the pages remind me of the fast pace of the life of this giant pumpkin and how much fun we had watching her grow!
If you'd like to learn more about this magnificent gourd, I have a few copies of Maxine for sale HERE....
