Beginnings

I started my first garden a few weeks ago. I went "all out" and planted seeds instead of established plants. I mean, I thought, "how hard can it be? People been doin' it for years!" I will admit it is a delicate process, but the beginnings of success (or yet to be determined failure) are popping up everywhere.

Cucumbers 1 & 2

Tomatoes 1-4

Jalapenos (lots of these are popping up)

Marigolds to keep the rabbits away!

On another sort of sad note, my Uncle James passed away this week after a very long and wonderful life. This rose growing in my yard, reminded me of him.

And speaking of beginnings, a freshly painted pool full of crystal clear water gets a girl to thinking about the beginning of SUMMER!!

A little spring in our step

Wes and I had a very eventful Spring Break. In short, his mom and Ron visited, we toured Beauvoir, took a sunset cruise, feed aggressive seasgulls, shopped, ate a lot, golfed, built and planted a vegetable garden, baked, and I painted. It has been tons of fun, and I hate to see it end. Summer will be here soon, and I can't wait!!

Here are few photos from our adventures.

This is a Walter Anderson print. These can be purchased in Ocean Springs in color or black and white. You can paint the black and white ones with water colors. I did these pelicans. I am planning on doing a cat next!

Until next time......
