Garden Green

From my own tomato vine, some small tomatoes have ripened and we used them in a salad today.  My first of the season!  Of course I bought this pot last month when it had alot of tiny green babies and a bunch more flowers.  In a pot with a trellis.  How easy is that?  They were very yummy.  I don't care how red the store tomatoes are, they still don't taste the way a home grown one does!

Big Win!

My husband won a jackpot recently on his favorite Monopoly slot.  A thirty cent bet for $430!  He hit a bonus and free spins to go around the board.  All aboard the money train!

Trees and Bluebells

 My recent Watercolor effort.  It's a practice piece from a step by step instruction book.  I liked the textured look on the tree trunks achieved by building up alot of dry brushing.  Not too bad for my first painting in a really long time!
