Again with the good weather! So I took the little (really old) table outside and did some beading out in the back yard. I decided to work on a design that I made up a few years ago based on the logo from the Cook Inlet Keeper website, a mermaid holding a seal. I don't usually do mermaids because they're overdone and too often cute. I imagine them as more selkie/siren like...not so cute and a little more dangerous. Less little mermaid and more sea lion.No pictures of the 'maid yet, but of course there are garden photos! Lucky you, the weather might be going to normal so the garden shots will be less frequent. Ooh, then action photos of the rain barrel getting filled, lol!
A pea clinging to a twig...I love their curly tendrils! They're so delicate and just a little freaky too, the way they cling and entwine I imagine them moving ever so slowly to grab a small child or slow moving bird.
Nancy Pearl, radio librarian, watching over the cabbage bed. She has magic shushing action that right now she's using to point at the cabbage plants. Pope Innocent is watching over the sprouting beets in the bed that birthed the mountain of rocks. He's less aggressive than Nancy, but he's a pope so he doesn't need to point at the plants just stand around looking beatific.

How could anyone be sick of the garden?? I like to see how will it's doing. Its nice to see things grow and what they become. Plus I'm learning more!! That's alway a plus.
Nope, never sick of he garden! Keep the pics coming!
OMGOSH, I can't wait to see your mermaid. I feel the same about them. They definitely should not be cute unless they are in a cartoon. Give me a dark, mystereous, dangerouse, alluringly sly siren. Isn't that what they were born to be?
Yay! I'm glad you guys aren't sick of the garden! Yes, dark and sneaky mermaids that lure sailors into the sea...geez, I hope I can make this work.
