324 Empower

Tonight I participated in the Komen Survivor Dinner Boutique with a display of my daily paintings.  It was a very enjoyable evening and I was proud to be asked to be a part of an event where women who have gone through so much felt empowered by being together as a group and their will to survive.  The woman who ran the boutique is a fellow gardener and quilter, and has experienced breast cancer twice.  She is truly an inspiration!  Her daughter is also a survivor and is very involved with the Susan B. Komen Foundation.  I feel humbled and very blessed to have good health.

323 Ranunculus

I'm a sucker for ranunculus.  They are so vibrant, with multi-faceted petals, and their stems go every which way.  They are somewhat like poppies, but not really.
