Where's my Tomatoes?

O.K. it's almost mid July and hardly any tomatoes.  Check out the plant --- it's almost as high as the roof, but only two tomatoes on this plant and they are green and the size of golf balls.  What's the matter?

Bloodshot Iris

Just finished my latest watercolor.  Not sure whether I should outline flowers, leaves, etc.  Whata ya think?  Picture is not as sharp as it could be -- something wrong with the flash on my camera.  Check it out anyway.

Iris

My good neighbor Ron was nice enough to give me some iris to plant last year, or was it the year before.  Anyway, they have multiplied and multiplied.   I'm going to separate them in a few months.  They are just getting too much.   Here are some pics, also put some that are growing in his yard too.
Take a look.

Virginia Irene Easter Outfit

Virginia Irene got a new Easter Outfit from her Auntie Natti.   It's not the dress she was hoping for, but beggars can't be choosers.  If we could only find somebody to give her a new diaper.  The one she has on is over ten years old!!! (not good)

Spring Trip to the South


A lot of our family lives in the South.  We try and make it there every year.  Here are some pics of our trip.
Spring has sprung!

A stray cat we saw in Gatlinberg.  I love his yellow eyes!

Poppy Painting

Just finished doing a poppy painting .   It is not my favorite painting -- I got the idea from a painting I saw on the internet.  Maybe it will grow on me.

It's a watercolor with touches of acrylic.
