After only a few years of working on the deutizia bushes, they are rewarding me with thick full blooms. It is so thick, it blocks walking up the path to the house unless we hold up the branches. Once finished blooming I can cut them back and shape them. Not only is it beautiful, it smells delicious! I have finally for the third time painted the living room and cleaned every square inch from the dust from putting in the fireplace so that my neighbors who have been wanting to see it can come for a spritzer and a walk in the bamboo forest. Even though I sold a lot of my large framed portraits, I still have a love of them and have taken it down a notch to small ones I can scatter around. These are my newest, I love the black detailed frames. Another recent find with color. Limoncello spritzers, mint from my garden and strawberries for the girls! I really wanted to use my punch bowl, but didn't want to do a punch, so ice to keep the bottles cold worked! I am planning on going back to the rose greenhouses this week if the rain ever stops. They had a pink deuztia that was not for sale, it was in the owner's collection, but I have plans on talking to her and seeing if maybe I can get one!
