These paintings struck me as distinctly garden oriented. Something like fifties sitcom meets millennial gardening.

Do you garden in heels and pearls?

    When I used to dress up for church- I always ruined my heels by venturing out in the garden for just a little looking and imperceptible weeding before having to leave.

    Now I go to a casual church and what I wear in the garden is not a lot different from what I wear to church!

    Ilona I promise you I don’t garden in heels and pearls, not even at the weekend.

    Rob-LOL!

    J- I don’t remember my mom ever looking like that in a dress, she was a bit heftier and didn’t wear fitted bodice styles. Your mom was younger than mine, which probably accounts for the difference.

    I remember when my aunt from the city used to come and visit on Sundays.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
