One and Done for Spring 2021

 

It had been difficult to construct the blog for the week.  So exciting and scary to have had my Johnson & Johnson vaccine last Monday.  Yes I am One and Done.  As a woman and small business owner, felt it was a necessary step for me and my family.  We have all lost so much during this past year of the pandemic.  I need to be focused on my family and moving forward.  Life does not stop: for this pandemic or anything else.  Time is a constant though it may not seem that way in the recent past.

Yes more greens are in the veggie garden.  this is Red kale and it will be delicious.  I harvested most of the Mustard planted late winter in the greenhouse because it wanted to  bloom instead of grow leaves.  Thank to the Climate Emergency we live in now which showed itself as the extremely warm spring so far. Proud and happy gardener because I grow my plants from seed.  My grandma would be proud.  

 Having some much needed rain here in this Rochester, NY garden.  Happy for the moisture and the rest form the hard work outside this past few weeks. My you enjoy yur labors as I have recently.

2020 Events Artisit's Life

Any other year, this would be a time of year when I would share the success of the season so far.  This year was off to a fantastic start with my goal of participating in more events then ever before in a calendar year. 

 My success ratio was the best in several years and I had many new projects / designs in process.  the Winter was working well to develop the ideas & prototypes.  

Thanks to corona virus no live events / shows from March forward for the rest of 2020.  The beginning of this I spent two months unable to create.  60 days unable to do what I love.  that was HARD!

On the upside:  have a roof over my head,  food to eat, & great friends to talk to during this pandemic.   

I wish I could say I understand how the African Americans feel.  It is time we listen. Let our sisters & brothers take the  lead & show us what we can do to help them. 

I know we can fix this and become one nation again.  It will be a process and it will take time.  Be patient and show your LOVE of others now more than ever. 

DISCRIMINATION,
POLICE BRUTALITY
& RACISM are  WRONG. 

How do you help you ask?  >>>>>>>>>>>>

this is a problem we had had for generations and we need fix it NOW!

Gardener with Gemstones

Lapidary beauty and my Gardens

On the left is Spider Agate freeform cabochon.  This is a hand cut gemstone and shows the beauty I find in the rough stones I have.
On the right is Biggs Jsaper a widely recognized form of jasper which is quite popular among jasper collectors.

How is the vegetable garden you ask?  It is doing well.  Mother Nature reminded us we are in
Western New York this week with a bitter cold snap.  was 65 a few days ago and now 38 outside.  We transplanted some hardy Kale yesterday.  The Mustard has given us two harvest sand is terrific in salads.  One snow peas has sprouted.  Is is early April so plenty of time of the rest of they peas to emerge.  some other plants have sprouted in the garden.  A few of the Hyacinth we look forward to each year with the intoxicating scent

As a small business owner I know how difficult it is at this time in NY state and around the US.  As a women owner business it is more difficult to generate the income necessary to keep the business going.  We are counting on the local community to remember to support all local business.  
For every $100 you spend at a local business $68 stay in the community.  
We are in this together. NY Strong.
