“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.
“There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed.” Washington Irving
