Freckles

I painted a sweet canvas with my rendition of my daughter when she was a little girl. I call it "Freckles". Since she was little, every Summer she would be kissed with freckles on her nose. She was such a happy child...this piece brings me some warm and fuzzy feelings. I did this piece for an upcoming fundraiser through the YMCA. I am sorry to have to let this one go...I fell in love with it as I was painting her, but can't keep it since it was already commissioned for this fundraiser event. I guess I will have to paint more.....I am pretty proud of this!

Peaches For Free

Last week we were given A bushel (over 50 lbs) of New Haven peaches from Michigan. I had to work fast since they were pretty ripe. I was able to can peach and basil jam, peach jam, peach butter,peach syrup and sliced peaches. Took me three days to get through them and only ended up throwing out a handful that were too ripe. Everything turned out delicious. We will see if it even lasts past Winter! But, oooh! The taste of Summer in the next couple of seasons get me really excited!
