Marvin Gardens

My favorite garden shop moved to a new spot recently. 

Yesterday, my curiosity got the better of me.

Wandering through Marvin Gardens is a pure delight.  

The backyard is filled with treasures to adorn your yard 

as well as a wonderful assortment of plants.

And rust.

 

Rain

It rained today.

A surprising find

As I drove the little urchins to gymnastics on Tuesday, taking our usual route, something new caught my eye. It was rather large and dark. It demanded attention...which I hadn't the time to give at that point. A few days later, my camera and I ventured up the road a bit to give the surprising find a bit more attention.

 

Searching for Roy G Biv II - Green update 1

What better place to search for green than in Washington, DC in the spring? In case you've yet to visit DC, be sure to wander the neighborhoods around the DuPont Circle area. There are all sorts of little jewels just waiting to be discovered. Enjoy!

I know...where's the green, right? Well, the woman in this photo just happens to be my Roy G Biv inspiration/partner Julie looking the ethereal weavings of Katie Glusica at the Smithsonian Craft Show. Now, if only I'd thought to get someone to take a photo Julie, Pam and I together... Next time.

Julie has a variety of greens, including a delightfully feathery find.
Fiona has Picasso greens.
Kim has woodland greens.
Maya has cool summery greens.

Do you have green? If so, just let me know and I'll link to your site.

Lisa at Arzigogolare posted the most intriguing green last night with promises for more.
