Here, let me open my journal back up for you. I print all of my photos at home on my Canon MP620 printer. I prefer the premium matte photo paper that HP makes, but I also have glossy. I like tucking some of the photos into wacky pockets I make using sheet protectors. Wacky is the way I roll. Too many straight lines and neat edges make me nervous.
A pergola is growing behind Moss Cottage. It will allow for some filtered shade in the hottest part of the day. Pretty soon the only thing missing out here will be my bed.
Hot pink Pegasus (epiphyllum) is in full bloom. This was taken around 3 pm, but as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon, 2 of the blossoms opened wide.
A nice harbinger of a weekend gettting ready to unfold. I'm so ready.

Wow, those Effin plants (don’t know how to spell epiphyllum) are spectacular, little galaxies amongst the stars and other ephemera. Can’t wait to see the Pergola, is there goinna be a hammuck? I am still sewing my ROD (this sounds somewhat naughty). Each page has to be fondled and then joined at such a breathless pace I can barely faciltate more than 10 within an hour. Off to recuperate with some pink lemonade.

I just drool over your journals. How wonderful to be able to hold them in your hands and feel all the textures. I would probably pass out from excitement!
A pergola, too!! Heaven!

It’s funny, we’re completely opposite. Too many crooked lines and I get nervous. When I was watching the ROD videos and you weren’t trimming your threads, I was getting agitated. I wanted to just reach out with a pair of scissors – lol! I’m thinking, maybe this isn’t for me but then you helped me break out from my o.c. tendencies for straight lines 😀

Your garden seems to be a paradise! You have also inspired me to dive back into my ROD!
