It has been a busy week and as Jenn's parents we are very excited to become grandparents on the 1st. of next year!!!
I have been doing a lot of transplanting, both of vegetables and of the potted plants I brought back from North Carolina.... and in getting so hot out there, I have now been in the pool for the first time this year, Yeah!!!!!!!!
I have 16 tomato bushes in the ground, plus 6 large pots full on the pool deck. I have one pot of lettuce, one pot full of collards, I know its not the season for those but.... and I have one pot of cantaloupe... so far so good... we shall see how it all goes ... I forsee giving many veggies away in the very near future.... Any Takers Just let me know.......
I was very happy to be able to take part in the St. Pete Spring Fling On Saturday, and be able to hang and show some of my work, as well as see some of the other artist's work.. very nice work too, I might add.....
Included in the day was a work shop for we artists , and it was fun to get to meet Eric Patrick, one of the main painters for P.W.A.T. and he is now the new owner of the Miami store, opening June 1st. He brought along a training video that he made, and I was very happy to get to see it ... It was very helpful... Thank You Eric and Leslie and Marvin for including us in this day!!!!!!

It was a great 18 days and over too quick, but we are back and refresh, ready to get back to routine... I didn't know what to expect with my little garden ,since I didn't ask anyone to water, but everything looks pretty good and the tomato plants are better then knee high....The yard looks good, not to many limbs down and the grass has not gotten too high...

The Picture is of a nest of five baby, Carolina Wrens ,that we watched and took pictures of everyday until Sunday morning when I got to watch mom encourage each one out of that nest and watch them fly away.. What a nice way to get in touch with nature....
I wish everyone a very nice day....
