Day 78
Even though the temperatures here in South Central PA
are in the mid-nineties today, I decided to do a
plein air of some of my flowers...from under the shade
of my back porch. Not only did it keep me out from the
intense heat of the blaring sun, but I was only about
ten steps away from my kitchen where air-conditioning,
and ice and water were easily accessed - a
definite plus in this heat!
My mother and her mother were both avid gardeners, and
I'd have to say that I inherited that gardening gene. There isn't a flower
out in my yard that I don't admire and appreciate - from the
roses and lilies, to the simple clover in the grass. Daisies have
always been appealing to me because of their fresh, clean
look - they always brighten up the flower beds!
