Funny, thus far, I have spent this so called holiday laboring! As I will continue for there is still so much work to do around this house.
Decided it was time for the dead wild flowers to be mowed. Difficult task, yet done. The main little creatures hopping out were grasshoppers. Yellow and green ones safely made their way out before the death of the blade. Same as for the lizard, blue tailed. As I was mowing the rest of my back yard, I thought I saw something blue in my vision fly by. Then I saw the lizard safely scurrying up a tree trunk. When I mow my grass, I always think about my father. Hearing that lawn moyer running, smelling the sweetness of the grass. Growing up, we had a big apple tree. It had different kinds of apples on it. My mom said that is why it was so unique. I have a pear tree, waiting to be plucked. It is in my front yard, yet hangs over my fence into my back yard. It makes for a delicious mouth watering fragrance as I mow by it.
The photo on the left is my mom and dad when they were dating. The one beside it was taken on their wedding day, 1-28-1944, in Wilmington, NC, where I was born.
My painting is called "Fairytale". 16" x 20" Acrylic on canvas.
