I began today writing the story.
I hung the first piece for the blue garden.
I set the brass peacocks out.
They will remind me of the Jack In the Pulpits.
Today I began my Artful Life.
Join me as I tell this story.

Hi Sherry - I just checked out your new blog. I will add it to the other blogs I now read, and look forward to your future posts in The Artful Life. Thumbs up for Sherry!
ReplyDeleteI have bookmarked your new blog. I love the idea of a blue garden, and your garden decorations..
ReplyDeleteDH and I watched a fantastic documentary on Nature last night about a Red Tailed Hawk who lives in Central Park in NY. He is called Pale Male (because of his unusually pale plumage)...have you seen or heard of him...it was amazing and I though of you while watching it..! He and four mates (through the past 10 years) have raised a total of 25 chicks..!
Blue! I Love Blue! And your garden decorations are very "artfull".
ReplyDeleteDear Mary,
ReplyDeleteThe Artful Life should be very fun!
I hope so anyway...
The idea is to have a place to tell the story of how the refining of house and gardens go.
I so hope it is enjoyable for others.
Thank you for encouraging me.
I expect this refinement will take some effort.
Having you to share with makes the process more fun.
Sherry
Dear Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to sharing the development of new gardens.
The blue garden is just starting on paper. When I saw the blue porcelin hanging planter I thought I could at least begin with an item. I am looking for a blue flowering plant for it now.
I have not heard of Pale Male!
I do often watch Nature and will see if I can catch a repeat. This bird sounds as if he has adapted to New York City...25 chicks is amazing. Also sounds as if New York City has adapted to him!
I so love stories like this where people and birds have learned to live together. It is always distressing when I hear how a habitat is distroyed for deck furniture or hamburgers.
Thank you for letting me know about Pale Male.

Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteBlue is different for me!
Some herbs I have grown in the past have blue flowers and I did have blue Forget-me-nots from a friend"s garden who has died now. I have never, on purpose, planted a blue garden. I do not even know where it will go!
The decorations will change I am sure as I refine each spot. For now I am wanting to decorate the spots the dead plants were.
The Peacoks will go in the blue garden. It is a process!
Sherry
As I commented there, I am so happy to join you, on your journey.

Dear Mari-Nanci,
ReplyDeleteI think having a seperate spot for the refine and for how the Artful Life shows itself is a good idea. Corner is real and is part of the Artful Life but it is more about birds and butterflies, bees and blooms. Sometimes we have a snack and a beverage!
I am so happy you will join me as I express.
Sherry
Thank you Housefrau!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was so kind to add Artful Life to my sidebar!
You are so sweet.
My "IT" lady.
Love,
Mom
