flowers~

Yes, I'm still at it!

My new found hobby is consuming me ~ at least this is a hobby that doesn't require much physical activity and my heart can handle it ... most of the time.  Although, I must confess ... my ticker has been acting up again and it doesn't seem to take much of any kind of activity to trigger a need for me to be popping nitro pills like tic tacs ... bummer... I'm not too happy about that.  BUT... I'm NOT going to let it get me down.  Just so I can stay out of the hospital ... I'll be happy.  I hate taking nitro though ... it gives me such horrible headaches.

These last couple of days I made up some more bloomers for THE CAKE.  I'll let you know about that later on ... ahhhh ... the suspense!

I wanted to try my hand at some little roses.  Here's what I came up with:

I think they look more like a little gardenia or double impatients ~ but I still think they'll look nice as a decoration on THE CAKE

I also made up some more little ~ what I'm calling filler flowers ~ and tried my hand at some leaves:

I was very happy too with the way these orchids turned out ~ they look a lot more fragil and delicate in person.  Some how it seems like the camera makes them look thick to me.  Just like me in front of a camera ... I always look thicker than what I want myself to look. lol

I had some visitors to the yard this morning:

Three cottontail rabbits.  All I know is they better behave and stay away from my flower beds and be content to eat the clover and dandelions in the yard ~ or else.  I put milorganite out around my flowers and so far they haven't touched anything ... that I can see.  So hopefully, the milorganite is doing it's job.

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
