A skipper feeding on verbena bonariensis nectar. I love this plant – it’s proving popular with the blue banded bees too.
A bucket of blooms for friends and teachers 🌸🌱
Something about raindrops on flowers.

Today, I sold my first ever bucket of homegrown, kind to earth flowers (dahlias and celosias) to a local florist 🥳
I’m feeling giddy and like an imposter at the same time. Why are inner critics such spoil sports.
I really want to paint again. So many internal dialogue but’s already.
Finished reading: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman 📚

So very delightful. I laughed out loud many, many times (to the concern of my family).
The local grocery now has some pre-cooked paella I’m very happy* with. Lunch sorted for the rest of my life.
*The fried rice is a no. My taste buds won’t allow it.

PS — He does not sleep in.
Another illustration inspired by Jeska’s tableaus. It’s such a lovely way to watch seasons go by.
