Design Rule for Cute

One is not in control of which pictures will grasp the heart.

.

Did owner of the apartment or building decide life could go no further without a bee skep at its corner?

.

Totally sexist, was it a man or woman who originated this idea?

.

What inspired, specifically, the bee skep and its placement?

.

How was the artist chosen to create the bee skep?

.

What is the bee skep made of?

.

How was the scale of the bee skep chosen?

.

4 bees, is there significance with '4' bees?

.

How is the bee skep attached?

.

How many people did it take to attach the bee skep?

.

How much did the bee skep cost, how much was the labor to attach the bee skep?

.

What era & country of origin is this particular bee skep based upon?

.

What type of bees were chosen for the bee skep, what are they made of?

.

Cute?

.

Hardly.

.

Whimsical. 

.

Totally.

.

Beyond whimsical, a statement.

.

What statement does the owner intend?  Literal, metaphor, reality, spiritual, a mix...

.

Remember, the more you go inward, the more you outwardly connect.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 

Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.

.

Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.

.

Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow. 

.

Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.

What do YOU want?

.

Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.

.

Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.

Just so you know... 
 I  welcome your input.
