Thankful wanderings

 So thankful to enjoy beautiful weather and a lovely neighborhood to walk in. With everyone working from home, it means company on walks throughout the day. Luckily, being in a suburb seven miles outside the city, walking here is an easy way to get outside and move, while maintaining social distancing.

We vary the route, but there are certain streets that I love because of the gardens. Since we are close to the city, the spaces aren’t huge but they are beautiful!

  
I love zinnias, such a great pop of color  They last a long time and don’t mind the hot weather. Find a sunny spot and they will thrive. Best of all, all this glory of the Fibonacci sequence grows easily from seed.  I was inspired to paint a watercolor card after this day out.

  2. I love zinnias and have a wonderful bouquet of them in the living room. I probably have enough to get one more bouquet before the cold weather next week finishes them off. Your watercolor, however, is just as lovely as my bouquet!

  3. Your whole garden is gorgeous, and you captured the zinnias beautifully in your card. The weather is supposed to be spectacular this weekend. Enjoy!

  4. How wonderful to see such beautiful gardens and flowers on your walks! I'm loving how you were inspired to paint those gorgeous flowers on your card too, the colours and texture are so beautiful just like the zinnias in your photos 😀. Loving the ones by your front door too! Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
