April Showers brought the May flowers. Can it really be the middle of May already! No more snow! I am so ready for summer and all the wonders it affords. I just wanted to share some of my flower in my little garden, they were gorgeous this year. I walked through my tiny garden and took pictures the other day, everything is so vibrant and beautiful this year. Our pink dogwood tree that had 3 flowers last year was loaded with blooms and I dare say that threatening to cut it down if it didn't bloom this year worked! It didn't seem to work on our sole peach tree that hasn't bore fruit since our grand daughter Keirsten was born 8 years ago, I do think it will get cut down later this summer when I find the time. 
I planted 5 flats of flowers last week in my flower beds down by the lake and of coarse they are purple. I got two flower pots filled with herbs and spent countless hours dragging stuff down from the attic for a huge garage sale with my best friend Karen. WOW, what a week.
Now that that is done I am turning my attentions back to creating new jewelry for the summer season full of art shows. I have 4 shows in a row coming up starting with ADA Art Show this coming Saturday. Next week will be the "Ladies Night Out" in Benton Harbor at Water Street Glass Works and then Lemon Creek Winery at the end of the Month. Busy month ahead, so with that said I better get back in the studio and work, work, work!
