paths & paintings . . .

the "red-den" opening is creeping closer . . .
there has been much list making, sorting outtidying up & finishing off in moms beautiful garden
(for it is at moms that our open studio is to be) laying scrunchy gravel paths
that wind around the house building wide sloping steps
that lead to flower beds so lovingly made
then it has been home to finish off my fathers day owl
more painting & framing of prints & endless cups of tea
i think a wee whirlwind has passed through my own studio!
of course, we did find time for a family bbq
strawberries & cream & catching up with friends

    What an absolutely lovely garden and those look like the Eildon Hills in the background. I must tell you that a Mrs. Thom from Scotland named our town, Eildon, after the area she came from. The distant hills in your Mum's garden look like the view we see every day!

    I adore your owl.

    Enjoy the excitement as opening day draws near.
