She Comes in Colors Everywhere - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Roses are red and violets are blue and rainbows have seven colors. Most people live in a colorful world. As humans, our color vision influences everything from our art and poetry to the colors we paint our homes and the clothing we buy. But why do we see (or not see) color? Being of an inquiring mind (and remembering some of what I learned in science), here is the low down in an encapsulated form:

An Explosion of Flowers! - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. Luther Burbank
Since we there has been quite a long string of triple digit days here in the Desert Southwest, most of my outdoor potted plants have quite blooming, with the exception of a vibrant fuchsia colored geranium that makes me smile every time I look at it. Now gardening pretty much consists of watering and deadheading the spent blossoms. Hopefully the monsoons will soon show up (they are a bit late this year) and bring much needed rain and cooler temperatures. Until then, I’ll dream about masses of colorful flowers.

Happy Independence Day! - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Independence Day will soon be here, in less than a week. It was quite an interesting time, a time populated by giants of U. S. history: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Richard Henry Lee and many others. The 4th of July has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870 (and a paid holiday to all federal employees since 1941). But the tradition of celebrating Independance Day dates back to the late 1700’s at the time of the American Revolution. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence from Great Britain. Two days later, delegates from the thirteen colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document largely drafted by Thomas Jefferson of Virginia but with help from John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York.
