Our "twins" which we adopted today. Two brothers-- Rafa and Fed.

Yes, you can eat the flowers!

Nasturtium. One of my favourite flowers. So easy to grow. Love the sun, put up with all kinds of soil. Bloom all semmer long. Edible flowers. I've never tried to add them to a salad. Doesn't seem right. Some say the seeds can be marinated to make capers.

This box #3 is more in the shade. The tiny blue flowers (name I can't remember) do very well.

Flower box#2 with papier mache leopard through the window.

This is our first summer in our new home and we decided to do container gardening. This is flower box #1, mainly petunias which love the sun.

Hard to see the froggies in this pond, camouflaged on their lily pads.

This mat was inspired by children's art work. It sat on my living room floor for some ten years, hence the worn edge, which I could repair but don't feel like doing right now.

My favourite floor cloth. Need I say more...

My dreaming mermaid mat in the sunroom. Have decided to post all the mats in my collection. Souvenirs from my starving artist days. I would never have that devotion today.
