Good Day For Coloring

There seems to be something new blooming almost every day in the June gardens.

My Bowman's root from my sister Nancy is blooming...it's such a handsome airy plant. The slender dark pink buds open to delicate light pink star-shaped flowers...and they just make me smile. 

This little sprig is going on my window sill. I love the little buds just the way they are...but maybe they'll open in my window. 

And look at this peony I saw on my walk.

And my yellow daylilies are just covered in buds and the first one opened up today. I counted at least 50 on my little cluster of plants. 

Today's card was a simple stip of fused fabric scraps.  

And I wanted to try Maryanne's doodle technique again...this time in my watercolor journal. It was a good day for coloring.

I used the same markers I used on the card. The color is a little intense...so I'm going to do the opposite page with regular watercolor. Maybe tomorrow will be a good day for painting.
