We are off again, this time to Mary’s watercolor class. However, she was making a delivery of her best three paintings to date! Her artwork will go on display this evening for the next thirty days.
The eagle and flag were painted for our grandson Jon, who found the picture on a recent cruise, but it was $1500, so Mary offered to paint it for him!
God Bless America
Having a garden means we are experts on bugs! I call them “Snake Doctors”, a Southern term for dragonflies.
“Bugs”
Mary painted this for me as I pulled it from a travel magazine. She did a magnificent job!!!
“Falling Leaves”
It took us about ten minutes to deliver, identify, and prepare them for mounting on the wall!
From there, we went home and fixed steak and eggs for breakfast. With our tummies full, we headed to the gym for our 12:30-2:00 p.m. workout. Note to self: DO NOT eat right before going to the gym!
We returned home to meet the termite man, who did a cursory inspection of two suspicious areas and said it was likely nothing, perhaps leftovers from when the house was termited four years ago. Our luck is still holding.
We needed a quick walk in the garden because we missed it this morning.
The blueberries are coming right along.
We are keeping the grapes trimmed back this year, and so far the strategy is working well. New grape clusters form every day!
We are going to have a load of table grapes this summer.
We must pass the roses and salute as they stand guard over the pool and add fragrance to the yard.
The roses light up the yard.
We got Mary a new small table for her painting palette and it is working our well since it can be moved about with impunity! Mark loves her loft; a way to escape the madness of the world. She has a 60″ HD TV that she can use to get YouTubve tutorials or use as a browser.
In the Loft, Mary has he new tables set up and it working away!
