Boxwood Love

Boxwood Love
I am so loving boxwood right now. I have them all over my back patio.
I have planted them in big black shiny urns, and pots.

My kids say they remind them of one of our favorite movies,
Edward Scissorhands,
 Remember when he turns the little neighborhood into a land of fantastic topiaries...
hmmm?
now there's an idea!

    Boxwood and black urns...perfect. I'm planning on flanking my front door with them. Great minds and all that.

    I've never heard of a boxwood until now. I have seen them though. Your painting is so soft and beautiful.

    The little heart is the perfect touch! We have a boxwood hedge...they always look great, don't they? No fuss except for trimming.

    I love, love, love this! The beautiful simplicity of it is absolutely wonderful :)

    I love the Madeline's picnic game (It is spooky how "on the same page" we are at the moment - you'll see what I mean later this week! hee hee)

    I can't wait to see what else you have brewing for your client, because the tooth is adorable :)

    It is always a bright spot in my day to visit you, dear friend.

    I love boxwoods too. I used to have them all around the yard in my old house. I guess I need to move all the azaleas in my present house and plant some boxwood!!! Topiaries...what a fantastic idea. :-)

    Love the painting. I also love boxwood. I discovered mine had died however and I really don't know why it was at least 12 years old.
