The botanical for Pomergranite is Punica and it can be a large shrub or a tree. I have seen them 25 feet. The amazing thing about them is their fruit is often so different from tree to tree. I had painted a some what abstract painting and I just wasn’t satisfied so I cracked open the pomergranite and decided to paint the inside. I think this is actually more interesting.
This is one of the oldest pictures I could find of a group of boys that I just adore. Landon, Garrett, and Ryan.
I think I thought they were talented even back then. Mothers love is just amazing isn’t it.
Well I was talking with a friend tonight about how much I love black and white photo’s. I did this photo a long time ago but it’s has that timeless feel to it. One thing great about black an white is that the light can make all the difference. I think this was taken pretty early in the morning an the girl in this is one of my favorite 4-H kids. I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing it. 
This time of year I love to paint. I sat down today and did a painting of my daughter. I’m not sure it looks like her. It was fun. I did this with acrylic paint only white and black.It took me about three hours to do. I hope that i keep it up. It takes a lot of paintings to make a good painter. I’m trying to do different styles. I don’t want to paint like anyone else. I also want to make art that is not commerical. I hate seeing things over and over again. I want people to be drawn in or for the painting to leave an impression. I would love all my paintings to make people flash on those things they love. I hope when you look at someones art you see the persons soul. To creat art is amazing it’s not just the act of doing it, it the action of deciding what to do.
I started around 9:30 and didn’t stop all day. At first I was frustrated I couldn’t get the drill to work or couldn’t figure out how to get the screwdriver off and the drill bit on. My sister who was a repairman showed me the secret of tools and at no time at all I was acting like Tim the Tool man. I’m not really a Tom boy and I’m not really a girly girl so I’m sure your getting the visual on this dorky mom using tools…
Well it’s a lot of work to get a path looking like you want them to look. I would like my garden to be something out of a magazine from country living. That would be no problem if I didn’t have a gopher problem AND a ground squirrel problem. I just work around the critters and try to get things that they don’t like. I’m using this great product that they use for tracks at high schools - it compacts but it’s easy to walk on. I have the bender board started and I’ll continue to post picture as it goes along. If you have any guestions about gardening nows your chance to ask.
This is one of the areas I got the weeds clear out and the bend board up.
I love the dewalt drill it’s really easy to use. I’m not afraid at all. I’m using the dewalt saw tommorrow pray I don’t cut off any fingers. I’m going to try and get a bucket of rock too with the tractor. Geesh I think Pelosi has had an affect on me.
Any of you that know me know I like to do adventurous things. I think of my self as being open-minded. When Alice my good friend asked me to go to a crystal faire I had the best time. One of the things we did together was get our aura read.
This was written a few months ago when I had just started my Bug Trapping job:
“Well this week has been interesting. I found myself almost on schedule, which means servicing a McPhail trap every seven days. It’s hard to get to everything you have to do but it happens. We also have to relocate traps every 6 weeks so I was relocating a Jackson Trio. I had written out the note for the door that we leave if no one is home. Then I started to make my traps and that’s when I heard the strangest noise. I couldn’t tell if it was human or animal - the noise seemed like a cross between a snort and something that might be in pain. I thought maybe an older person had fallen and maybe it was a person hurt on the side of the house. As I peered around the corner and there it was! The biggest cutest pig I ever did see. It was on a chain and it was sitting confortably in a bathtub and the noise was actually her blowing bubbles in the water. She was so happy to see me she jumped out of the tub. I think she must be like the family dog. The interesting thing about this property is that is that it’s located in a place that used to be rural farmland but is now mostly subdivisions. I hope i can get a picture of her she is adorable.”
I wasn’t able to get a picture of this adorable pig but maybe next year….
