Strawberry tart I made in a sweet pastry dough crust with crabapple jelly glaze. But now I will paint some paintings of them.   I love the ruby red strawberries dripping with rosy glaze.

Today I made crabapple jelly.   It looks like rubies and smells like floral perfume.

Found this photo from a couple years ago of me picking cherries.  I love cherries and all sorts of fruit.   Also a few other photos from same "Roll" of film (SD Card heehee). Anyway... Some nature photos.   This May things are cooler so things are running a bit behind.  But looking forward to all the fruit and flowers to paint and to eat. western tanager close up in watercolor picked cherries for pies  the enchanted forest

One of my daughters recently graduated college and was home this weekend wanting to celebrate.  She put together this cheese board for our family.  It was a nice Monday evening surprise!

A highlight of summer is the local farmers' market.  I always love a good farmers' market.   Being in the Midwest, summer brings a bounty of fruits and vegetables as well as local meats, cheeses, handmade breads and soaps. Loving these handmade natural soaps. Jake's Meats from Michigan is where I stock up on Great Lakes wild caught fish and pork, chickens and more.
