Unexpected Beauty....

"There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon. "(Matsuo Basho- Japanese poet)

Nothing makes me happier than to see Something Beautiful...unexpected..unplanned....like walking the dog and suddenly seeing Purple Clematis or wild red roses on an abandoned house......It takes one's breath away....

And then there was Summer.....It's the little things that bring Happiness...

Fixed up the front porch......I don't go out there much ....but it is nice to have a place to hang the flag....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixed up the Back porch....my oasis...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I needed a desk....so I made one out of odds and ends.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

painted the bathroom...and made curtains ( a woman in the hood was foreclosed...she threw our her 1955 Dotted Swiss Wedding Dress..most of it was ruined but I saved what I could and made curtains..)....Everything was found, the wonders of Curbside Shopping on Sundays......the glass vase...the beautiful stained glass...

Our beautiful little yellow dog...lying in the sun......

I made this , Stained glass art, glass marbles and beads and sandy mortar I call it " Rain on the Beach"....making something that reminds me of the Beach really cheers my soul....
