Happy News Day here on Riverwood Drive . . .
It rained, a bunch, early evening yesterday.
I think we were reaching a mini drought stage . . .
New asphalt was laid on our roads today . . .
We have been torn up for a few weeks . . .
It looks WONDERFUL . . .
Now to tend to the shut down sprinklers
and re-edging the lawn.
I finally was able to do some of my potting and
gardening things after being laid up
with a back issue for a few weeks.
And then to make this day even better,
a friend and I spent a few hours visiting
and trying some more watercolor painting.
Plus I found a hollyhock photo my friend
Penny sent me for my birthday . . . (been looking for days!)
(Guess what I am going to try painting next . . .)
One more plus . . .
I potted another window like box for my daughter . . .
Fern, with light pink fuchsia is very pretty and the "hummers" enjoy . . .
It's the little things . . . that keep me smiling . . .
What is happening in your world . . .

Your garden is really lovely, and your Fuchsia, which was a favorite when I lived in Alaska, is one of my favorites! It's too hot here in Virginia for them, so I have to live vicariously through people like you who can have them! Your watercolors are also lovely, and I know they will be enjoyed and make you smile when you think of those memories that inspired you to paint them!
Very pretty. I never think to put fuchsia in a window box. What a great idea! -Jenn

Hello Lynne, YAY for the rain. Your flower arrangements and window boxes are so pretty. I love the fuchsia. Your watercolors are beautiful, you are talented. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
Gardening and painting a bit of beautiful watercolor … how relaxing is that !
The fushcia are just gorgeous. Lovely paintings too. Take care of that back, Mine hurts from weeding but it will ease up soon.
Your photos and paintings are absolutely gorgeous, Lynne! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love your watercolors. I think painting water in a vase/jar is hard. Good for you! And the fuschsia is stunning. I know I spelled that wrong.
Lucky you getting rain. A few miles away they got pummelled. We need it badly and not a drop. I don't want to see my water bill this month!
Bummer about the back, that stinks. The road looks awesome! And of course your paintings :)
Lovely potted arrangements--all of them. You are so talented with the botanical paintings! I'm glad your back is feeling better. Take care!
Love your birdhouse canvas.
