I must plant more of these creeping phlox
a blooming surprise this year
Last year, I had rescued several plants from the discount and dying plant rack at the hardware store. They were past their prime, so I had no idea of color.
Color doesn't matter in the rock garden.
In the secret garden, the roses are fluffing their skirts getting ready to put on their show.
It's hard to stay inside with perfect weather tempting me away from the studio table.
You are so lucky to have such perfect weather - we're still dealing with snowy and cloudy weather up north - so it's very uplifting to see flowers blooming! I just love seeing pictures of your rock garden - it gives me so much inspiration to start one of my own. Your phlox are gorgeous and how neat that you were able to save them!

Oh wow...we don't have any color yet...the Dogwoods and Redbuds will bloom soon. Thanks for sharing. I love your altered books...I'm torn (no pun intended) between wanting to do that or paint in my journals. I love the page from your "secrets" journal and also the everyday Alice.
