Savoring Time in the Garden Sunday

Photos from my garden this past week. The last flush of roses, one of my favorite dahlias and a spider web I caught reflecting the sunlight.  This weekend my grandson, Mack, celebrated his first birthday. I made a pastel portrait of him to bring to his birthday party today.

Happy Birthday, Mack!


I'm joining Mosaic Monday at Little Red House.

    You are all so kind! Thank you for the 1st birthday wishes for my 1st grandchild, Mack. It was a wonderful birthday party and I think the pastel of him was well received :)

    Kathleen, I can't believe Seamus is 5 already! I'm sure I'll be saying that about Mack before I know it.

    I can't wait to see how you like drawing in pastels, M. I really enjoyed it!

    Susan, you know what they say about great minds ;)
