WHEN ITS TOO HOT TO GARDEN

The Garden Path

When its too hot to garden you'll find me painting them.  Above is one of more than 35 paintings I've done this past month for my first outdoor art fair exhibition at the garden center where I work.  I was one of more than 80 artists selected by a jury of six and I'm honored to be among many who are well-known in the community. 



Setting up a tent and making a display for an outdoor show is a lot more work than I anticipated and being a full-time granny and garden designer it has been a challenge to find the time for it.  What was I thinking?!



The weatherman has been predicting rain for several days now but has been wrong on every count and I'm hoping he's wrong again.  Opening day, August 14, is supposed to be 95 degrees and rain ?!  Oh please be wrong again .   Yes we do need the rain but just not on August 14 and 15.  Please, and thank you very much.
