Sunrise Over Fields of Flowers

Here's hoping your day is as lovely as this photo. That sun looks hot, doesn't it? I went to the library in Morristown just before it closed at 5pm yesterday. The time and temperature sign on the bank I passed on the way registered 95 degrees. It was way too hot for me but I mowed grass anyway. I'll finish my hand trimming this morning while it's still cool. See you later, Rosemary

Goodnight, Time For A Movie

I'm about as tired as this pile of spotted puppies sleeping on the painter's drop cloth. Think I'll pop a movie in the DVD player and enjoy the evening. Sleep tight when you turn in. See you tomorrow, Rosemary.

Dancing Around The Maypole

I almost forgot to wish all of you a Happy May Day. Dance around a Maypole if you can find one.

Mattie Lou O'Kelley | Spring Paintings


Mattie Lou O'Kelley didn't start painting until she was 60. This self-taught Georgia artist was quite prolific until her passing at age 89 in 1997. Read her obituary in The New York Times.

She also wrote poetry, which was as homely as her canvases:

"Now my one room house has only me,
I never roam,
No lessons have I. But I paint
And paint
And stay at home."

Ginger | Antique Botanical Print

I never knew what ginger looked like. It's beautiful. I found this image in a magazine and photographed it. It's supposed to be 87 degrees today. Glad I got a jump on my mowing yesterday. I shall only work in the shade today. Have a good Saturday, Rosemary.
