Its a Jungle out there
Its a jungle out there...or in my garden. Wildness is taking over + the garden
Jungle for illustration Friday challenge + Sunday Sketches + Artists in Blogland + Creative Everyday + Inspiration Ave. Several challenges that I have missed for several weeks. I need the discipline of creating every week! Life gets busy but I miss pushing myself to complete and share something each week. Thank you to all of these sites and the creative souls whose positive energy keeps them flowing!

Garden/House excuses.....
Gardening like mad, cutting flowers for the local market + road side stand + working full time.....Not so much time for painting. We have also started painting our living room (white over dark wood) I am speckled! Very stinky primer.
Our days are filled with watering & weeding but also with starting to eat from the garden not all flowers.
The sweet peas have hit 7 feet tall fronted by lilies starting to open.
Growing some yard long beans as well.
First of the tomatoes
Cosmos and sunflowers just getting going. In the birdhouse lots of activity.
I'm very grateful for a deer fence this year what a difference!
So I am wishing for painting time....but for now it is mostly of the house painting variety! I am so thankful to have a house to paint though it be old and always in need of something fixing :)

Handful of fragrance
Lavender is in full bloom, buzzing with bees. Playing with backgrounds, which do you prefer? Actually getting something finished to add to Sunday Sketches! Been very busy with family and garden. Happy Fathers day to families out there, my own father is gone but I have great memories to look back on. My husband is looking forward to a nice dinner with our son and our daughter had brunch with us before heading out on a flight to her next adventure, bridesmaid in Hawaii.
