Hi, Ele! How pretty! I planted Hollyhock seeds last year and hope they bloom this year. Someone named Holly should have Hollyhocks- dontcha think? ☺ ♥
I confess I'm NEVER in the mood for ANYTHING summer - except the Autumn that FOLLOWS. But those Hollyhocks ARE beautiful, Ele! Still, I'm DROOLING over the SNOWY view of your beautiful building. I can dig up some boots - maybe you will let me sit there WITH you if I'm quiet? LOVE YOU!
So Beautiful my dear friend! Either in winter or in bloom your chapel is sooooo charming! I so wish for the greens and bright colors of spring...alas, we still have memories huh? and a few more months to go! ugh!
You're right! I'm ready to give winter the boot and demand that the hollyhocks show their pretty faces. It won't be too long now though and we'll see their lovely blooms all summer. :)
Hi Ele, what a pretty and peaceful picture. Actually I love them both. Relaxing with a cup of hot choc. and a cozy quilt sounds wonderful! Loved your previous post with your silver. Just georgous! Thank you for sharing and have a great week! Blessings, Shirl Shirls Rose Cottage
Dreaming of Hollyhocks surrounding my church studio, just as the snow and ice storm is scheduled to arrive.

You've seen this picture before, and it's equally beautiful, but today I'm not in a snow mood, I'm in a Hollyhock mood. Summertime means: the sweet smell of grass, dirt in my fingernails, the sun on my face, frolicking amongst the wild flowers, twirling my new dress from Anthropologie whilst engaging in tomfollery on the open prairie.
Had you going didn't I?
For now, I'll just pour a cup of hot chocolate, turn on the fireplace, and snuggle with my favorite blanket. If I feel brave, I'll put on my boots and head over to my snow covered studio. It's always peaceful in there.
Thoughts and prayers for the people of Haiti,
Ele

I'm in the mood for some summer flowers myself! Lots of rain here in So. California and although I love the rain, I'm ready for some sun.
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

They are both gorgeous photos, but with the extremely hot weather here, I would prefer the snow at the moment!
