Daily Graces Return #527

The quote used today is from the book A Painter’s Garden (Cultivating the Creative Life) by Christine Walker. I used to have this book prior to the fire and was thrilled to find another copy of it on Amazon which arrived today. At the time the author wrote the book she was living in Sebastopol, CA, which was close to Santa Rosa where I used to live. The rose tree is in my backyard cottage garden and is called “Sexy Rexy.”

I found this photo of some of the roses from my California garden. It was also nice yet bittersweet to see the sweet vase I had them in. I had a wonderful collection of vases I loved using for my roses and other flowers. I am looking forward to the lovely flower gardens we will begin getting planted in our Oregon garden in the next few weeks. I love gardens!! Will need to begin a new vase collection…
