Plant and homelife

Confession:

I am loving the i-phone photography so much more then my camera, it is a struggle to be using it at all... I dont get the colors quite right.

Here goes.

Evening golden hour on the plants

Plants: a jungle inside, and rainy days

It has been pouring rain for a month, I could swear we are back in Panama, though even there it doesnt rain this much. Life feels like it has been on hold, the planting, gardening, hiking, pulling out of warm weather clothes is all waiting for spring and summer to come back.

I have been spending time in the sunroom, as it is just the right warmth in there, and enjoying the green both in and out. The kids have been painting.

the beautiful unfurling of a new palm leaf, in so many shades of green

Happy weekend

A few new

When we got back from Panama this last trip, I printed our favorite island photos in cool matte square prints. I have been wanting to find a way and place to display them, I always forget that while I am often revisiting all our photos and images on my computer,the children are not, and I was wanting them to have visual reminders of their beautiful life and other home. I used this poplar strip and hot glued small clothes pins onto it, then hung it up in the hall, every morning when they skip by they squeal, "starfish! limes! mango's! cashew fruit! and then they are reminded.

new fish hook succulent , very cool

felt balls on Zion's door

frames and plants on my new green desk

I asked Steve to make me a floating shelf above my desk, I had been wanting one so badly, lucky wifey that he always complies
