T Stands for.....

 Hi Everyone!

Today is the T-Party over at 
I do have some good news and not so good news. After seeing my eye doctor, I don't need eye surgery. YaY! Also after the head doctor went over my new thyroid ultrasound, I don't need another biopsy at this time. As for my foot. 6 months after surgery my foot is worse than before surgery.  I don't know what the doctor did but I have nerve damage in my ankle, and toes. The top of my foot is numb and my ankle is very tight. I saw the podiatrist last week and he told me I would need special shoes. OK, so what about my foot? The shoes start at $165.00. I can barely walk and have to do PT several times a day. I guess it could be worse. It's just I didn't have any of this before.
Now for some happy. 
Even with the rain and wind my garden is doing OK. I am going to have a ton of potatoes and onions. I have carrots growing in 5 different places, and I am hoping for a good crop of cabbage, brussles, cauli and broc. I have whipple, black and sting beans going and of course the peas are growing like weeds.
If you click on the photos you can get a close up.
This is on my back deck.

 I have 5 containers of potatoes.


 Carrots in this 20gal grow bag just starting to come up


 These are Walla Walla onions. I will tell you about this grow bag. DON'T buy one


 Three types of onions. With all of the onions I have carrots and cabbage growing too.




One side of the big garden. Peas, radish, spinach, carrots, beans.


 Cabbage and beans



Beans and broccoli. The good thing about growing in containers, plants that are not companion can grow in the same area.
 

 I was so happy to get this divide grow bag.  It was a disappointing purchase. The dividers are not sewn on the bottom. The soil just slips through to the other side. Which would be ok but it is so flimsy I was having a hard time filling anything. I cut the divider out. As you can see in the photo above. It is so flimsy I had to put tote tops at each end. I won't use this again.



 
Mr. M. wanted some Chocolate Chip Cookies.
 
Here is my ticket to join the T-Party.
 

For the crowd.


See ya at the party.

Hi Everyone!
Well it has been a week, let me tell you. Too much traveling to see doctors. 
As we sat in the waiting room there was a woman who looked sad and sick and I had to capture her. She was thin,a stragith nose and small mouth. She had large dark rings around her eyes and her forhead was burrowed with wrinkles. The rest of her face was smooth with sunken cheeks. This is my impression of her.
Not much time to draw so here are some AI images.

Weird Art Wednesday

 Hi Everyone!

Sorry. No Weird art Wednesday. Mr. M. and I didn't get home from his doctors until after 7pm and we are just whipped. Tests, driving from one place to another and waiting for results. A procedure is coming up for him.

This is how I feel right now.

Have a weird and wonderful day.

Hi Everyone! We actually had a few days in a row of sunshine, so of course I have been out in the garden. It's hard to divide my time with garden and art and all of the other things I do on a daily basis.  So this week I decided to just take my time on this face. It is not done yet, but so far I am happy with it. I thought I took progress photos but I guess I was dreaming.
Here is one

and here is where I left off today. I already fixed the eye brown. LOL When I take my time I can layer the shadows and get better value. Still a lot to finish.
 
A few AI pieces


 

 


 
And a photo of my youngest grandson with his girl friend. Both in college and my grandson is in the military as well.
