African Violet

Once in another time and place, I enjoyed the heck out of the many African violets I had. And then came a long stretch with none. Last summer I saw a small one in Lowe’s that needed me. Here it is now. All spiffed up, blooming, and making me proud. 

Old Movies

 On Wednesdays the nearby movie theatre is showing old movies. There are so many I have never seen, like this Monty Python one today. I left about halfway through, shortly after I took this pic. It was all I could endure! However, it’s really fun to have a movie theater two miles from my house. There will be more in my future.

the Seek app

See a bug or plant out in your yard and you don’t know what it is? Just open the Seek app on your phone and hold before the subject. Seek and you will find out. ❤️ This is from today.

Art and Flowers

 Occasionally I am called back into art service. A friend asked me to find art for her garden club to use in a show, one that included making flower arrangements that are inspired by art, all paintings in this case. This idea, or theme, is carried out in museums, etc and is quite popular. Here is one painting with its arrangement. 

I felt inspired to paint something I thought would be a good “inspiration piece,” one that a flower arranger would like to do, that was used in the spring category. Then I offered it for a raffle. Someone gladly took it off my hands. 

Finally May!

And time to post daily. Blogger is not what it used to be and neither am I, but here we go. 

Posting daily is a good discipline for me during this sunny and merry month. Yesterday I met with friends to do collages. It was messy. I was challenged. But here is what I came up with. I rather like it.
