A lovely post by a friend and blogger!

March 28, 2013 By //  by Penelope Bianchi 15 Comments

 

 

My friend and fellow blogger Tracey Jackson

came to Santa Barbara to visit her mother;  and came over to visit!

(These pictures were taken last Spring!  Not by Tracey)

Screen shot 2013-02-18 at 10.27.04 AM

 

 

Tracey is a screenwriter, and that is one reason she is such a good blog writer!

She has also published books!

Honestly, in about fifteen minutes, she took some wonderful pictures and posted them!

The title is “Penny Bianchi’s birds in Paradise”!!

Here is the link!

I think you’ll enjoy her blog!

I’ve been taking some “beginning of Spring”  pictures which I will be posting soon!

Happy Easter!!!

    Dear Penelope,

    Just to say that you have made such a brilliant house and garden! This obviously is refection of you which makes it so refreshing. I adore the way you incorporate chickens, ducks, insects vines, gravel into your life, garden and the city. This is so refreshing and exciting having seen so many gardens in my career. Thankyou for letting us all in!

      This is one of the loveliest comments ever! (I just love the comments……my blog is so very personal)…….and a darling man I have known for a lifetime…..just said…..”you are a great storyteller”!

      I guess that is why I love to do this! Your response is an example of the thing that keeps me going! You are an accomplished landscape designer; And I treasure your comments……(as all the comments)! Personal, and including nature…….those are my values……I just go with my heart……I didn’t really analyze anything!! (I don’t know how to analyze!!)

      My decorating (interior) is pretty much the same…..When I start with a client……I ask questions that go to “how they live” children; and on…and give them what they are all about!
      It all has to mean something to them!! And reflect them!

      Thank you so much!! You saw this! It means a great deal to me! SOB!! I mean it!!! thank you from the bottom of my heart!
