“Gardeners and artists have faith in transformation, in return for which we receive the gift of seeing a little more today than we did yesterday.” A quote by Christine Walker who was a local California artist when we lived there. From her book, A Painter’s Garden- Cultivating the Creative Life.
The photo is a snippet of my backyard garden at its height this summer. Being able to have a lush garden once again has been one of the joys of living in Oregon.

A stanza from the poem, “The Day is Done” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Was happy to find a vintage copy of The Oxford Book of American Verse at a great used bookstore, Smith Family Books in Eugene. So nice to own once again something I used to have. I also found one of my art books, a Mary Cassatt book that I also used to own.
