Wooo Hoooo !!! Thank you all so much for contacting me regarding the new CHOW PRINT I released 2 days ago. I grabbed one “off the shelves” right away and ..I’m glad I did, as there are only 2 left!!.
A nice 24″ x 24″ square canvas on a stretcher frame… Absolutely a stunning focal point on your wall!!! The starting price is 100.00 less than the gallery value, or you can BUY IT NOW for a piece of instant GRAFFITIcation !!!

Yesterday was over 60 degrees here in Portland, Oregon, and I took advantage of it by getting my storm windows washed, inside and out. I moved my water fountain (cobalt pots to the far right) into the picture, as well as a fused glass birdbath. A larger one is being made now.

MORNINGS ARE THE ULTIMATE TIME TO VIEW THE GARDEN AND THE CRITTERS FROM DAWN TILL ABOUT 11:00 AM PST
The squirrels and birds tend to rest in the height of the day and then come back in the later afternoon around 3:30 or so. All that will change as spring approaches when the baby birthing season begins…..then mom and dads everywhere will be foraging for food nonstop.
I’ll be adding some fun links to the LIVE CAM page but here’s one of my faves to start…
CLICK HERE TO FIND WHATBIRD.COM

I uploaded their bird ID toolbar to my computer and have their entire database of 891 birds on my iPhone…complete with bird calls and ways to ID birds by color, region, shape, etc. Even if you are not into bird watching, this site is worth a peek….a well-oiled machine in my opinion…gorgeous illustrations and photos and slick navigation.
The bird calls on the iPhone are a riot. Hopefully I can show you on the LIVE CAM some day how it draws the chickadees down from the trees like flies!!
I’m heading out to look at pansies and primrose for my pots today with a friend!! Will take lots of pix at the garden center!!!!
