In the early 1990s we visited our in-laws (My ex's sister and her husband) in the Pittsburgh PA area. It was summer and hot, humid and typically uncomfortable for us two Californians. Their daughters and I were playing in the backyard and the soccer ball rolled down the long hill into a copse of fifteen-foot high evergreens. We went into the trees to get it and came face-to-stalks with the largest "wild" rhubarb I have ever seen. Now 'wild' is stretching it, because if you toss a dug-up rhubarb root into a pile of yard rubbish it will most probably re-root and thrive. The plant was fifteen feet wide and its leaves were the size of hula hoops! Some of the stalks were as thick as my wrist! We had no idea how it got there but as I said, it was probably dug up and thrown away. We cut some stalks and later I baked a strawberry rhubarb pie.
Succinct and on target. I particularly like your last sentence.
Long Beach has a roundabout, called the "traffic circle." I always tried to avoid that intersection and take surface streets as a detour.
The paintings I've worked on since Oct. and early November will be featured at my show (March 4th opening!) I think there will also be a few landscapes, trees, etc. But the "food' paintings will all be on the long white walls of our main gallery.
The let-down after your fifteen minutes of fame. BTW, I had a 'blind' date but I kept tripping over her white cane.
Yes. "Buffaloes" have "wings," don't they?
Bison.
I am amazed at the concept of teaching mythology in schools as if it was science. Good luck on getting a hard freeze.
Microwaves are dangerous tools, Fredo. I don't like them.
Hilarious!!!
I consume huge quantities of java. I checked the Staples and Meijer prices for the Keurig units and then the price for the coffee packets. It is like my computer printer, where the ink costs more than the printer! LOL. Nice design, though.
You inspired me. I have two and a half packs of Camel Blues left. Then I'm done.
Mixing colors is becoming increasingly difficult for me. Sometimes I mix and mix and have so many miscues that tubs of paint are left over. My studio lighting is awful. That is part of the reason.
