During my visit with family up in New York, I finally took some photos of my mom's garden. She has created a wonderfully inviting world in what she calls her 'postage stamp' plot. Little corners invite you to sit. Other parts look like decades-old shade gardens - with moss and hostas and vinca. Red window shutters peek out of ivy growing over the garage. And, I'm totally snagging her idea for the arborvitae, verbena, lobelia and brachycome container. It smacks beautifully of Italy. Take a look-see.

I love how these elements work together - slate path stones, mossy brick, grass and the colors of the container spilling out and pulling it all together.

Pretty flowers, but I'm interested in Lucinda Williams. I've seen her in Austin and Gruene and love her albums. Where did you see her and how was it?
Pam!
We saw her at The Charlottesville Pavilion. A new outdoor space that is part of our Downtown.
She blew me away. Her voice is even better in person. Terrific band. Fun stage presence.
I would love to see Lucinda Williams!
Your mother's garden is o sweet - is she the source of your green thumb?
Steph - Yes, and her parents, too. Not so much with the technical end of things, but forever exposing us to the beauty of gardens by way of outings to estates, nurseries, beautiful spots. And getting us to notice the subtle, small things.
