August Inspiration 1: Freedom by Sara Harley

During our months of self isolation and social distancing, many are longing for their freedom. This composited
self portrait endeavours to portray that feeling.

August Inspiration 2: Primroses on the Porch by Helen Eaton

These pretty pink primroses are singing, "Come up these steps!  There's a friendly face just inside the door and a porch swing just outside the edges of the canvas.  Sit down and enjoy. Don't be in a hurry."

I do love a good porch.

August Inspiration 3: Garden Friends by Sara Harley

I decided to add a vegetable garden this year, and in my research
I read that catmint is a good companion plant for squash.
Apparently it’s also a good companion plant for butterflies.

August Inspiration 4: When Life Gives You Lemons by Helen Eaton

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!

 Although it is easier to say when you're not facing some of life's lemons, it's a good philosophy to remember.
