I’ve just posted these fleurs I know, but couldn’t resist sharing with you this #prettylight today…

WAHOOWA!!!!! University of Virginia 2019 NCAACHAMPS vs Texas Tech. 85-77 in OT and what a game. Great teams both, great coaches, great sports. What sports is all about. And the Sam-Spike-Charles show during the commercial breaks was almost as good. Pictured is UVa coach #tonybennett #uvabasketball #marchmadness #gohoos #almamater

Keep swiping – just having fun photographing flowers in different settings. #grocerystoreflowers and ranch wildflowers and a few weeds. Last frame, love the woven rush bunnies from @pier1 which I’ll use on our Easter table.

“Luminous pasture” would be the title of this painting were I to do one. The sunlight hitting the grass and trees with those dark clouds behind is so dramatic it glows. This is the scene greeting me as I drive out of our gate to go to town. .

A springtime table and #afewfriendsfordinner Honestly I was just going to keep the flowers simple and do all tulips or ranunculus or something, and then I couldn’t help myself. Did keep to one color at least. All about #californiacookingandsouthernstyle

Loving spring…

State Geography Bee in Utah! Quick, what’s the capital of Uzbekistan? And he thinks that’s an easy one…So proud of grand Casey ! 3d place and $100! Woohoo!

Beautiful busy time at Rancho La Zaca this gorgeous day. The lupine are out! … A photo shoot in progress… And everyone should have one of these parked next to the house… Happy weekend all. .
