i love sweet peas.these are the perennial variety.
they don't mind the oppressive heat at all.
not like i mind.
gotta love em for that.
and for their delicate beauty and amazing tendrils.
yes
the heat
continues.
unlike these perky little sweet peas,
the gardener
is
wilting.
i started a painting over the weekend...it's nothing at all like i envisioned. funny how the colors have a life of their own and they take me to a new place.........
i want you all to know, how tickled i am, that you take time out of your lives, to stop by my little blog!!
i love you guys.
i do. i do.
at times, it becomes difficult to balance my gardening biz, my art, my blog, my photography and my personal life...
BALANCE is indeed the key.
balance
is everything.

Hi Erin, It is a balancing act, but you should know that we appreciate your lovely posts when you have time to do them. Your photos are worth waiting for.
I adore sweat peas, although I have never grown them. I used to have a whole room done is Laura Ashleys Sweat Pea walpaper, balloon curtains, bed linen. I loved it....
Wowzee woman ! what spectacular photos , love them, thanks , Gina
Wow, that bee photo is phenomenal! I also love the seriously upclose and personal sweet peas. Fabulous!
Ah COME ON! the bee photo! Holy buzzin bugs. You can see every hair on his legs.
I for one can never get enough of your photos, or paintings so I'll wait and wait for each one. They are so worth it.
So balance away, we'll all still be here. : }

Great photos! I should have gone to the store early this morning before it got so hot. 9:35 and already 90.
Stay cool!
Always so much loveliness and inspiration over here, in your gorgeous little corner of the world, Erin. Cannot wait for the sweet peas to pop in my garden too. Would love to make this kind of fantastic pictures of the lovelies. Sure already I will not succeed...

HI Erin...
Well Balance is a four letter word for me.. my lifelong mission.. still working on it!! haha
Love the sweetpeas.. they were my dad's favourites.. and I think I love the tendrels as much as I love the flower!! that photo with the ball jar is just gorgeous!!! Have a great week... [sorry I am so slow to visit.. I'm such a slow blogger these days] xxx Julie
I find myself saying that all the time...balance, balance....mostly when I'm frustrated about my life...and where the time goes. I think it's something us women struggle with more then men.
Love sweet peas...I used to have some wild one growing in our old house....such a sweet old fashioned look about them.
Oh btw thanks for the order sweety.
stay cool

Beautiful images! Sweet peas remind of being a kid. I planted a few little seeds when I was about 8 and it was like magic! It seemed to happen all of the sudden ... hundreds of pink sweet peas!
