Wrinkles

June 10th, 2013

More show up on my face every year. Some say one should be proud of wrinkles as it shows a life rich with experiences and history. That is true, but I’d rather not have them :b I started thinking that I wanted to make some figures that have wrinkles and still look beautiful, I’d call it sublime if pulled off. Not sure that I have or not, but this is one of the wrinkles pieces.

Cut down all of the lettuce about seven heads left, all having bolted :( bummer. I retained the core and plan to try and move them to a shady spot. I love going out back and picking dinner. The tomatoes are doing great and are taller than I. I planted a variety, some grape tomatoes, heirlooms, yellow, romas and I can’t remember what else, there are so many different kind.

There is going to be so many that i will have to jar them or give them away.

This is my romaine, unrecognizable since it bolted :(

Isn’t it pretty! It has leaves that are much thinner and lighter than romaine and has a very faint nutty flavor to it. We enjoyed it before it bolted.

My latest creation:

I am liking it as a heart but it could change.

dinner!

happily sauntering across our yard a school of quails, so cute. I tried to catch a photo but they were so face and I could not get close enough, for fear of frightening them, they hoped up the 8 foot fence and disappeared :(
