phew!

i am well. 
shhh! 
i don't want to curse myself.
 one of the many painted turtles i've "rescued" this spring
 pretty, and such nice manners!
the snapping turtles
while more earthy looking 
are fierce
the painted are easy to carry to safety
~~~
 wrapping up a studio/mill/garage
 very high up
 great marks
 really! 
 this visitor seems to find
my window screen 
a suitable place to hang out
 maybe it sees some of the colors inside
and feels right at home.
these papers are part of my new project:
a dry garden
hortus siccus.
i am very excited about this!

  4. REally nice Velma. BTW, I am dealing with ground hogs, how to rid them, ahhh, building a deeply-set fence around my city garden!

  5. christine, well, there was a monty python scene in my yard, with one of us running east and chasing the demon with a broom, the other one west with a watering can. we both connected (not simultaneously) with said critter, but he was big and wily and escaped, hasn't been back! the critter expert said we've traumatized him and he (critter) was only trying out my place as a condo site for his potential lady.
