I have created two of these in the inverse. Beautiful striking black and white flower art by floral artist Sharon Cummings. A unique design with classical elements and botanical beauty.
I've been creating with pen and ink again! I prefer pens to pencils as I love the fluidity and smoother movements. I have collaged painted fabric to create a colorful garden!
I was not always suffering from those issues as I grew up on a farm and used to help with the hay work in the summer.
So the fact that I am now experiencing hayfever symptoms is the consequence of #ClimateChange.
Despite taking a powerful allergy medicine it is still not safe to go outside for me.
This is why when we talk to you so often about the #climate on this account, it is not because we are being greenwashed.
It is because it is affecting my health and our #gardens in a significant way.
It is also why those who would like to deny the climate issues are very unwelcome on this community, I could not give less of a damn about their opinions.
Got garden weather?
39 and rain near Redmond WA this morning.
Mini greenhouse has several kinds of onions grown from seed and ready to transplant, some carrots, lettuce, and two bell pepper plants. Spinach and radishes have already been harvested and those areas will be replanted with carrots, radish and onions. I am curious if I can get Walla Walla onions to mature planting as late as May 1.
The pic with the raised bed has Davidor Shallots on the left and Walla Walla onions on the right. The Wallas were planted last fall and overwintered in the greenhouse. In the background are strawberries, garlic and early potatoes. #PNW#Gardens#Gardening#GrowYourOwn
This year more than any year, my health has been affected by #ClimateChange.
I have been experiencing hay fever symptoms even though I was not allergic before.
To me, it means having to take powerful allergy medicine to be able to go outside and despite this, I am still not safe, and wearing a mask outside is a necessity.
When we talk about the #ClimateCrisis being real on our account, it is not because we are being brainwashed or greenwashed.
It is because it is affecting us directly as well as our #gardens.
This is why we have zero patience or tolerance for those who would like to deny those issues. They can go to hell.
3 years ago we found this Alstromeria on a discount rack. It thrived in our garden, but didn't bloom the first year because we got a hard freeze. The next year, one of our cats decided laying on it was the perfect spot. This year it is flowering like crazy! The message: You are beautiful and capable of blooming! It may not be in this season, but be patient and continue to grow!
I sketch when I am learning by listening. Otherwise I zone out and do not retain anything. By engaging other parts of my brain (and hands), the bored part wakes up. LOL
Volume 4 is LIVE! Visions And Voice Of The Garden is a beautiful collection of flowers, plants and tree artwork with poetry and haiku. HIGH END heavy #80 paper. Each page is suitable for framing!
