Coleus plant cuttings and comments going to spam folder


 I took some cuttings from my now large coleus plant and hopefully they will develop a good root system in 3 or 4 weeks.  The plan is to pot them up and give them to willing friends.

I have noticed many of my comments are going into my spam folder as soon as I approve them.  Something to look out for, be careful everyone.  I now remember Jan commenting on this issue.  I found close to 400 comments for the past few months have been going to my spam folder. I had to publish them all yesterday.

A Free Sample!


 


I was happy to receive this box of goldfish crackers in the mail, a free sample!  They are extra large, very crunchy and good!

Covid covid covid

 Covid is rampant around here.  It started when daughter L got it from a wedding she attended.  Shortly after her fiance got it from her.  Then husband M got it from the fiance.  They have all been mild cases.  Son K and I are hoping to be spared, we will know soon enough.  

Then we heard that  a few friends got Covid within the same week that husband M got it (not from us).  The result is many spouses including myself have been sleeping in separate rooms and masking up in the house.  It is difficult!

We had to miss a family Christening, that was disappointing.

Friday Art - Valerie's Rooster


 I am showing Valerie's Rooster, a piece I did last year based on a photo Valerie took.  Valerie is taking July off blogging as she deals with some health issues.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").


And this is a landscape I did based on a photo that appeared in my screensaver that I liked.  I didn't get a chance to see its location.

Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off and Gillena's Art For Fun Friday.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date- Scratch Drawing


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Scratch Drawing' theme.  I did a moon silhouette complete with wolf ACEO(2 1/2" x 3 1/2") using a white acrylic pen to 'scratch' out my drawing.  Thanks to Rain for always bringing us out of our comfort zones to try new ways of doing art.  I had never heard of scratch drawings before this.

And for the dinner date I am sharing my Tomatoes Vinaigrette.  I mix 1/4c rice vinegar, 1 tsp white sugar, 1/4 tsp salt with a couple of sliced tomatoes and that's it!  I used the same recipe for sliced cucumbers and I have a Japanese cucumber salad!
