A painting that captures my heart
It ’s not every day of the week that you get a painting made just for you . In my case , it ’s the very first metre !
The artist is Iris , who blog atSociety Garlic . When I run into her one day , I discovered that along with professional writing , horticulture , and yummer - bear recipes , she ’s a mountain lion ! Her lettre de cachet is darling on a chair . She ’s donated paintings to store - raise auctions to sustain theGreen Corn Project , and this one to theHumane Society .
I just had to ask : Can you represent my little family with a computed axial tomography , dog , and BUNNY on a electric chair ? Iris knew just how to get into their little brains to catch everyone ’s divers personality .
CT : “ Who are you again ? ”
Bunnies : “ fourth dimension to convert the alarm code ; someone hold on getting in . ”
Dog : “ I just want to give everyone a kiss . ”
Down the road , when wayward puffs of fur no longer take exception my ling , we ’ll remember when we were Mom & Dad to rescued cat , domestic dog , and bunnies , usually in charge of our chairs !
Iris , who includes bluebells in her garden , would love this one ( Eustoma exaltumssp . russellianum ) that I spotted at theLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center .
Her voluptuous one is Lisianthus ‘ Mariachi Blue . ’ Must have it !
At nurseries , you’re able to find fault up these hybrids . Here ’s some information from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center :
In Japan , this plant is experience as Lisianthus , an honest-to-god name for the Eustoma genus . It has been develop in pinkish , white , and deep purple blue color varieties with both undivided and doubled petaled flowers .
Bluebells can be crafty to grow , whether aboriginal or hybrid , but if they find the veracious speckle , they are worth a try .
Another one that ’s crafty for me is Rudbeckia . I gave up on them years ago . I love them , but they molder tight in my garden . Then , I take the air out one morning and spot this in the crepe bed .
No clue how it got there , but I ’ll take it ! I ’ve acquire pregnant life lessons from the garden and pets : obedience , wrangle , and jump for joy when you hunt into peachy surprises .
For KLRU viewers , tune inSaturday night at 8 p.m. for our Brit com evening , with some of your favorites , plus the premiere of After You ’ve Gone . This one guide a poignant , witty spin on family relationships when mamma moves out and female parent - in - law of nature move in . I recall some fur will be flying !
Until next workweek , Linda
