Two Paintings.

I've been watercolor painting/drawing a bit this past week. Here are 2 paintings. The first is of my kitchen window and the second is of a Crepe Myrtle by the railroad track.

Grasshopper on the scene.

While watering tonight in the hot 100 degree wind, I noticed something hanging onto the cosmos.

It was hard to see at first because everything was moving around so much.

I was finally able to get a good look at this grasshopper! So neat!

Garden Update.

Blue and purple morning glories, peppers, zucchini, corn stalks, tomatoes and marigolds! The garden is growing wild. I hope to make some more zucchini bread soon. The first two loaves were a hit! The morning glories are just so lovely and magical though. I love flowers that only open up during certain times of the day and especially when they are blue!
