I want these flowers again…

but I cannot find them in Birmingham, Alabama…anyone know their name? I think they are African Daisies…I have some, but their petals are white.  Help?

the logo you make up

sometimes I have to draw something completely new & then, maybe, edit in the computer.  This logo is for a Recorder/flute player, the art model has tattooed musical notes all over him & he is holding the mouth piece of a recorder. It was fun to draw, we are coming up with the final design…

Amazon is shipping me 400 eggs that turn into this…

Huge gross factor. But the Praying Mantas is a carnivore & will feast upon the herbivores that are dinning on my basil, cilantro, banana peppers & my tomatoes…I drew this one, so that I remember that they are not aliens that have landed in my gardens. Good to draw something everyday…eewwww. I also ordered 1,500 ladybugs…

yesterday’s pick

The weather called for hail, high wind & a pounding rain. I wasn’t going to let these flowers endure that kind of punishment. Better they get put into vases to make my house more beautiful.

you can go to Tiffany’s, i’d rather have this…

My husband built another raised bed for me. 30 bags of dirt & an hour or two for him to build me a new one. Some women love jewelry or shoes. Me? Anything to do with my gardens will bring me happiness.  The last image is the creek that borders our property. I hang in…

DIY regrow your food…

Celery, romaine lettuce, cabbages & bok choy can all be regrown. I use a square vase. After I cut off the eatin’ part of the celery, I put the bottom in the vase, I use the sink sprayer to water the tops until the water is about 2″ deep. I water daily, easy to remember…
