Art Happenings

Moonflowers
vitreous enamels and kiln-fired glass


Hello everyone! There are several art happenings over the next several weeks. On First Friday, June 5, if you are in Tallahassee, then please stop by the "Allegro" exhibition at LeMoyne. On that same night, there is an opening at Foster Tanner gallery at Florida A & M University. It is the national exhibition entitled "Pinnacle."

I will have several pieces at LeMoyne and one piece at Foster Tanner. So come on out and support not only your local and regional artists, but take the opportunity to see work from other parts of the country.

Well, our garden is starting to produce a little. We have a squash that should be ready to pick tomorrow. Soon we hope to have some eggplant. I noticed two jalapenos as well! Mom has had some grape tomatoes and a few herbs.

My Aunt went back to NC today. We really enjoyed her visit! She is so much fun! Also, we had another fun visit with my niece, her husband and their little boy. What a joy he is -- so much fun! We enjoyed their brief stay. They will be relocating further north and will be buying a home soon.

Well, onward and upward! Everyone have a good evening. 'til later!

Hope all the Moms had a nice Day!

In celebration of Mothers Day ( and even though it is after midnight), here is a photo of my beautiful Mom and her sweet and 'spoiled' little dog, "Roxie."

My husband made a vegetable omelet and a strawberry/banana fruit treat for Mom's breakfast. Then we gave her some gag gifts and some real presents! Later in the day, we went to some stores to buy a few things and then had dinner at San Miguel's where we enjoyed a pitcher of margaritas and some good Mexican food! It was a fun day.

Hope everyone has a good week!

Til later,

Terrie

Victory Garden, Recession Garden, or just Our Garden!














Wow! are we are having fun with this good earth!
Here is a photo of our little garden plus the one that will go on either side of Mom's and our fence. The previous photos are of Mom's raised bed. Charlie is digging, Mom is advising and "Roxie" is trying to contain her excitement for the whole event.







This morning we got a nice surprise. Look at the beautiful squash flowers that greeted us when we went out in the front yard!

We got our first taste of some little grape tomatoes this evening. They were delicious! We finished the bed that is on either side of the fence. I think it is going to be fun to have that space as well as the raised beds.
It is suppose to get hot this weekend -- in the 90's yikes! Almost time for the air conditioning!

I hope that everyone has a good weekend! Hard to believe Friday is almost here!

Til later.
