Strawberries II

Available

A family tradition of picking fruits beginning with strawberries then blueberries and sometimes apples.  One of these days were going to try cherries they aren't grown in the immediate area.   My strawberries were made into compote for crepe's my new fun food.  The fruit is displayed in clear glass which allowed for the shadows to ad some additional shapes and color.

We have a local coffee shop that keeps fresh flowers on their tables supplied by the florist a few doors down.  The trade, unlimited coffee for the flowers, love this deal everyone wins.  Last week every table had miniature tulips in coffee cups, so lovely, made me want some.

This painting was in progress for a week to much distraction.

We had a major dilemma our well quit working.  No water for 10 days.  We weren't the only one's these cold temperatures have caused many problems with wells in the area.  It took heavy duty snow removal equipment to access the ground to work.  We have 3 feet of snow in our yard this reminds me of winters from my childhood.
