We know the mail doesn't get delivered on Sunday, but we have had some grey days when we are used to sunny skies, so my husband and I decided to at least get out of the house and take the dogs up to the mailbox for a little fresh air. The dogs bounced around happily and on the way back I took a little sample of a plant I had been watching on my morning walks home to draw. Who needs mail to read, when I can go home and draw.
The walk to the mailboxes was a contrast to the other journal entry on this page. A day at the mall in town with my sister.
From your very accurate leaf layout, it looks indeed like a Solomon Seal to me. I'm glad you had success at the mall. There's nothing worse than wasting an art day at the soul-sapping mall.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Gay. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the Solomon Seal, too. Your description of walking to the mailbox just to get out for a bit made me giggle: The walk to our mailbox is all of 30 feet and it's concrete all the way!
ReplyDeleteI had Solomon Seal in the garden at our old house -- you captured it very well!
ReplyDeleteLovely pages! We can see where your creative energies bloom!
ReplyDeleteThanks all, I looked in my Western Forest book and it said the plant was False Solomon's Seal, Smilacina racemosa.
