Spent some time on Prince Edward Island recently. Loved how the current crossed at the point of the beach beside an Inlet.

Nothing like fresh vegetables. I have the best Dad in the world.

The front door of our music store has needed painting for awhile. I got a little fixated on this as a distraction from all the 💩 in the world. I'm pretty happy with the result. There should be no question that we sell guitars. 😊 🎵🎸🎨

Our cherry tree is covered this year. We managed to get a giant bowl picked today in spite of the pillaging cedar waxwings and squirrels.

Spent some time at the ocean on the weekend. So lovely to hear the waves crashing on the beach. Found a few seashells too. #BayofFundy #oceanwaves #seashells

Mowed my lawns today, and I couldn't help missing this, sweetheart. She used to follow my every step when I mowed or did anything, really. Everyone should have the love of one really great dog in their lifetime, and she was mine.

Had a lovely day today. Spent some time playing Frisbee with my grandson and drew a quick little ink drawing for a friend who is turning 50 this weekend. #ink #sketch 🎨🦋

Spring ephemerals are up. These are bloodroot (sanguinaria canadensis) under the crab tree in my back garden. #spring #ephemerals #bloodroot #garden

I finally finished this painting I set aside ages ago. I love the peaches! It has a bit of gold leaf on the tea cup.

I have been so distracted by politics lately I've found it hard to paint. Just starting to get back into it, and I promise to post more art. Here's one I did last year. I was going to paint over it today, but after having another look, I don't think I will. 20x20 #acrylic on canvas. 🎨🦋

My oldest child bought this complete, mint, in-box set of #TOS #Startrek collector plates on marketplace for me. My youngest child, who apparently does NOT know me at all, asked her if she thought I would like them...

I know the world is a dumpster fire right now, and we're getting a miserable snowstorm, but I made the best batch of ginger cookies of my life, and they smell divine. Is there anything better than ginger and cinnamon? 🍽🦋 #food #cookies #baking #ginger #yum

I recommend this book. It lists which trees attract particular species. Diversity in planting is the key. My small town backyard is full of birds and small mammals. Also, a water source and shade if you want amphibians. Birch trees and fruit vines and bushes...Grape, raspberry, etc.

I don't know why they are called purple because they are actually red. I love seeing them at my feeders.
