It is better to arm and strengthen your hero, than to disarm and enfeeble your foe.

Hi there! I continue to watercolor on the regular and thought I’d share my recent favorites, probably every other Wednesday, but I certainly won’t make any promises.
I am positively thrilled with the way the sky turned out, especially in the bottom two. Here’s to more of that!
Happy Monday, and welcome to this morning’s garden in saturated early light. So lovely…
Every year, for too many for me to remember, I have planted this stock tank with potato vine, assorted blooming spillers (black petunias here), and something tall and attention-grabbing in the back. This year, there is a grass in the middle, made almost entirely invisible by the thrilling height of milkweed. It may very well be my favorite combination. So cheerful! It’s grown so ridiculously tall, we can observe it from the kitchen window, and the wild assortment of browsers as they sip nectar: hummingbirds mostly, bees, wasps, hornets, and butterflies in competition.

The goldenrod is just starting to bloom.
The fountain, humble looking, but as thrilling as the milkweed for the ability to sooth and take us “stream side.” I never grow tired of it.
The view from the bench, above and below, with Juniper keeping her eye on the comings and goings of birds and squirrels. I believe we had baby nuthatches this morning, pure delight.
Have a wonderful week…
We can destroy what we have written, but we cannot unwrite it.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
