My sister surprised me last week with a book she'd made for me.
Every time Jan and I go away on a road trip, I ask my sister to come and look after my garden and houseplants. We were going to be away in June and July for roughly four weeks, so she decided to turn her daily visits into a photography and art opportunity.

Every time Jan and I go away on a road trip, I ask my sister to come and look after my garden and houseplants. We were going to be away in June and July for roughly four weeks, so she decided to turn her daily visits into a photography and art opportunity.
The cover features a painting of my patio....
Photos and a painting of my peonies....
Some photos of the back of the house, and a marker sketch of my front door...
I had purchased a pot of pale blue pansies back in April, and most years pansies are ready for the compost heap by June, but this particular plant just kept on blooming. She took photos of it, and did a very impressive collage picture using bits from magazine pages....
A marker 'dot' drawing of some of my blue pots, and an oil pastel drawing of the group of ceramic pots made by my daughter-in-law, and displayed on my kitchen table.
Photos and an embroidery of the path in front of the kitchen...
And a palette knife painting of flowers form my garden. I always tell her to pick any of the perennials that bloom while we are away, since most only bloom for two weeks at most, and I won't be seeing them anyways, so she might as well enjoy them.
