Middle of August
Posted by laura bellel on August 16, 2018 | 2 Comments
The mornings have been hazy, hot and humid. The air seems yellow.
Everything in the garden is growing and changing very fast.
I love the twisted curve of these morning glories.
Their leaves are beautiful too.
The robins and cardinals love the grapes!

June morning
It's so fine to step outside barefoot,without a sweater, and get started right away. On most mornings,this means just wandering around in wonder and amazement.for awhile.
The backyard is not big, but the cherry tree doesn't seem to mind.
The blackbirds and squirrels .are ready to pounce!
A clothesline fiull of projects
Silk organza after soaking overnight in alum water
Another piece of organza dyed with indigo
Vintage linen napkins
