purples

purple is one of my favorite colors 

(ok, i like them all)

and we have lots of purple

happening right now. 

above, a lily of the nile. 

one of the artichokes 

we didn't eat, 

so we're enjoying the flowers instead. 

lavender. love these always.

happy flowers by the front door. 

and finally ... 

dutch door in the kitchen, 

painted it over memorial day weekend. 

we're almost ready to 

have the exterior painted. hooray! 

i think this purple will be 

an accent color, used sparingly. 

my son, adrian, had a 

heart attack when he learned 

purple had a role

in the paint scheme. oh well!
