 Friday morning it was raining and gloomy, but here was a bright spot to lighten the morning.

  Look at these clouds.

  I was given this pepper plant by my dad. He pulled it up out of his yard and gave it to me. I, however, cannot keep a plant alive. They all suicide in my yard.  I thought this one was destined for the same fate with the dry, hot weather, but it made a rebound after all the recent rain. It even has a small bloom. Maybe it'll survive after all.

  I got to spend some time with friends at the Crowder concert at Funfest in Kingsport, TN. I love this guy's music and his love of Jesus.

I thought that I would use Frisking liquid to make a nice space around the edges of my small paintings. I realize now that I do not like using it. Maybe if I were doing watercolor only, but since I do mixed media work frisking liquid is not feasible. Tape is better.

This picture will go down in history. And seriously, they had smallish women guarding him. Secret service, do better.
