Announcement: My Cards are at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens!

I'm super excited to share this news: 6 of my Greeting Card designs are now available at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! This is such an honor. The gardens are gorgeous and quite comprehensive. It's worth going several times a year just to see what is in bloom. At year end, Gardens Aglow is a 'must see' with thousand of colored lights illuminating the gardens and trees. The Gift Store is a wonder in itself. I did a bit of shopping last week when I dropped off my cards. I got a sunhat with a neck flap for gardening and some very sweet little wooden replicas of the 'Guardians of the Seeds' sculptures.

These are the 6 designs I dropped off. I can't quite figure out how to set these pics side by side on this blog, unless I make them super small.  

I went camping in Michigan in late May and early June. I had never been to Michigan before. It was a fun trip, almost 3,000 miles in our pop-up pick-up camper. Michigan is a beautiful state. Upon my return I jumped into a month long painting project... and... ignored (almost) my gardens. The painting now complete,  I've been a weeding warrior woman trying to get my 3 gardens back into shape. Summer is such a busy time on a small farm. Tomorrow we're getting 4 baby chicks in the mail. 2 Bard Rock and 2 Buff Orpington. These will grow into laying hens. We raised 20 organic meat birds this spring and for the first time we processed them ourselves. Our freezers are full!

Lots of maps are out on the dining room table. If you look closely you will see that they are of Newfoundland. We're planning a trip there in August-September. We'll be in the camper and we'll be taking the dog. Tune back in here in late September to see those pictures! Happy July!
