Rain, Rain Go Away!!

      
           It's been hard to get anything done in the yard or garden what with all these wet days. The grass will be a foot high before it drys out, if not worse. But every thing does look so green, clean and fresh! I hope the bees got into the fruit trees before the cold rain started. The blossoms look wonderful anyway, and I am surrounded by Does apple trees in full glory!  the sun did get out on a few breaks, so I could run out to capture some blooms before they are gone. I hope you enjoy them! Rain or not the Backyard is looking good!

Thursday Nite Art Club!

The Second Gentleman:  Chrysanthemum.
The symbol of autumn, embodies optimism in the face of adversity!

We had a lot of fun starting on this next lesson. We use black ink or water color for practicing the petal, leaf, and stem strokes. It was a short nite so we didn't get to the colors. The thin stems seem to be the hardest to get control of, but Tina did very well, so I'll post her test runs. Hopefully we will get the other half of this lesson finished next week.
