I am so happy every year when I  feel the warmth of the sun, witness everything in bloom and feel the promise of  new beginnings.

Here is a glimpse of Spring from Northern California.


Melissa, Lisa and Deirdre from our design studio wearing wisteria crowns in our garden at our home.

Melissa and I in between Bend and Ashland in our second snow storm in two days.  It didn’t slow us down, we stopped along the way bought snow chains and were crossing mountain passes and back country roads in no time…..and of course we had to stop for a quick photo.

The most amazing white flowering Dogwood that we discovered in full bloom at my old high school in Portland when we were on our northwest sales trip.





Rita on the go…..15 years years young!





Rita and Bourbon amongst the grasses and wildflowers





The most stunning field of wildflowers that goes on for days…….





And one more shot….can you tell that I am obsessed with flowers?
