August 6. 2012 -- garden in the windowsill

If this looks like a garden, that's because it sort of is. I wandered around the garden this morning picking everything that interested me and then dropped most of the stems into these wonderful vials on the windowsill. Included are zinnias, lettuce flowers (tiny, but a beautiful lemon yellow), old-fashioned petunias, a dahlia, some orange kerria flowers, pink phlox, and yellowing Japanese Solomon's seal leaves. In the background, if you look hard, you can see the rolled up hose--one of the few times it has been rolled up this summer!
