spring is officially here in southern ca- the weather forcast for this weekend is in the 80’s, so our easter sunday brunch will be by the pool!

next weekend will be spent spring cleaning my “outside studio”.  during the winter it sort of becomes a “storage”space-but as soon as the weather co operates-i’m back outside. 

creating in the garden is a favorite spot-although i must admit sometimes there are too many distractions. we have a mating pair of both redtail hawks & barn owls on the hill across from us- every year we are prividged to see the youngsters leave the nest. we have hummingbirds, blue jays, sparrows, you name it nesting in our yard. lizards, butterflies, dragonflies & grasshoppers provide the dogs with endless amusement. and of course the garden calls to me- actually  it’s amazing that i get anything done!
