Cordially Yours


SOLD

This is the last cherry tomato from my garden - I picked it and a couple dozen more 2 weeks ago before a series of frosts. It wasn't ripe yet, but I expect it to be one last burst of sunshine in my mouth in the middle of winter. Picking green tomatoes before a frost is a desperate attempt to extend summer as long as I can. We Texans complain about the heat - and many of us leave during the summer - but I wouldn't have it any other way. My Southerner's thin blood just doesn't do well in frost and snow! It's cold here today, so I am content to stay indoors, watch the builders repair the sewer line they broke while drilling the piers for the studio, and practice painting still lifes.

2 Corinthians 11:27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.

Thanks, Barb. First time to do glass like this - good lighting helps and it took me an hour to set it up!
