Tomato Painting

Today was the first time I had the urge to paint since I got to the Wormfarm in May.  It has been all about fabric while I have been here.  But suddenly I felt very inspired by watercolor again.

Lady Jem and I creating together...and snuggling in the sunshine.  She is a sweety.  Just don't pick her up or she will claw your eyes out......

For last nights potluck I fried up some green tomatoes in a nutritional yeast, panko bread crumbs and basil batter. yum!

Vegetables, Honey Chicken, Cat

Potluck Sunday!  Donna made an amazing Moroccan stew with cinnamon and allspice.  I made little blueberry hand pies that I forgot to photograph.  

Red cabbage is here!  I cooked some red cabbage, kale, mushroom and tofu and served it over Israeli cous cous.  Cooking is exciting with all these vegetables growing around me.  There are so many options and I am getting better and better at throwing things together on a whim!

Conquering the 4th page of my chicken book.  This is the page were I introduce Honey.  It was very difficult to figure out how to cut out the arms wrapped around Honey so I have been putting it off by reading instead.  But today I decided I'd had enough and needed to get the 4th page going.

For this one I drew the image out then cut out the separate pieces of paper for different fabrics.  Very much like a puzzle.

Sexy Crook.  He knows I am infatuated with him.  But he pretends he does not care. (He loves me)

Blueberry Picking!

Naomi and I went blueberry picking at Blueberry Hills in Reedsburg yesterday.

I had never seen a blueberry bush. The combination of greens, pinks, blues and purples was such a beautiful thing to see on that breezy sunny day!

I picked almost 5 pounds.

Getting the blueberry jam started.

And I made a blueberry and blackberry tart with coconut whipped cream.  Yum!

My plate from last weeks potluck. Another incredible meal. I brought some beets I pickled with cinnamon and ginger and some garlic Sriracha green beans.

I love this little Crook.
