My first class painting is in a little show.

My new very unfinished painting. Must be abstract.

My teacher didn't like the eye much because it was supposed to be an abstract painting but the eye just appeared almost on its own so I left it.

My yard flowers

In a few days, I'll have lots of Virginia bluebells.




My old Chinese peony says it will bloom this year because I cut down the water oak that grew up by the mailbox. It's refused to bloom since the fence was built even though she got windows in the fence.



I've got a wild azalea like the ones that bloomed across the road from our house in Virginia in a big patch.

Yuck! The county Republican convention! For the cause of liberty, prosperity, and freedom.

Jesse's been sick, but we are taking care of him.

Enemies taking a break from battles

My first painting. I worked on it today. I'm taking art and PE 101 this semester. Probably 75 to 99 percent of the students would get out of PE 101 it or tried to, but art is great. Last week, an an art show and reception we could visit was concurrent with the painting class. There was live music and wine, and artist talk. It's a really fun class.

Old Jerusalem is a completely walled ancient city like a stone ant hill of corridors and tunnels.
