As I pull my head up from my many to-do lists, I can't help but make a diptych today. It's truly one of my favorite things... a good diptych. *sigh*

June is going so fast.
*My brother's wedding invitations are done. Yay!
*I'm still hard at work, planning to get my shop open in early July.
*I keep buying more flowers for the yard.

It's getting so hot here. I was a real "sweaty betty" yesterday planting my new coreopsis and lilies. I'm very excited to see them prosper. We've struck a deal that they are going to like living here. I hope the deal holds. (And if your name happens to be Betty, I don't mean to offend, you can say you were a "sweaty shanon" next time you are hard at work in the garden.)

Here's to June and gardens and diptychs!

Pair of Bananas

I'm getting to the finish line on my brother's wedding invitations, so let's celebrate with Bananas!
I did a set of 4 fruit and veggie polaroid still lifes last night during my hiatus from technology... in other words, it was lightning out, so I shut down my computer and needed to find something fun and creative to do! I say "fruit and veggie," but really it's "fruit and onions," to be more precise. The broccoli and the yellow pepper shots did not turn out very well because I ran out of lovely colored walls and used my entry's HEAVILY stuccoed dark brown wall as a background. This resulted in what looked like a little tree of broccoli in front of a huge chocolate frosted cake. It was bizarre.
