Spring Fever...

This winter was quite mild compared to the rest of the country here  in the Pacific Northwest.
Soggy as always, but I'm not complaining, its wonderfully lush and green here.
Just wanted to share a couple pics from my garden as it progresses. The pic above is a periwinkle variety of a multi layered Clematis. I'm not one for the fancy varieties, but I could not pass this one up a couple of years ago.
Rosemary on the patio- easy to reach for the kitchen. One of my favs. I've got a larger one out in the garden that is really starting to mature. Very much worth the wait.


Beginning of the season lettuce~divine!.
Hard to stay inside when it is not raining. I should haul all the art supplies outside this time of year.
I've added new images here and here to the retail section of the site and more stuff will be added soon.
I have been working on lots of new original pieces and hope to add them in a jiff as well.
Happy Spring!

Beautiful!! I LOVE Rosemary - your sweet tree is so cute...I have a giant rosemary bush outside my front door and it smells amazing (plus, it's so great to be able to snip it off to cook with).

I will take some of that leaf lettuce with a dash of lemon juice and salt/pepper. So fresh and tasty! Beautiful garden!

Oh those Clematis are gorgeous and the lettuce looks yummy. Portland is a beautiful city. You are so blessed to be surrounded with nature's bounty.
Thank you for sharing.

Soggy here in St. Louis too! It's the best ground conditions to go pull weeds; I love how the weed pops right out root and all, no tools required.

That periwinkle clematis is so gorgeous! We can grow clematis around here in Michigan, but I've never seen anything like that....I'll be visiting Crescendoh to read your story next....
