Horse Chestnuts

 So I picked these at the local park thinking they were walnuts. My sister told me they were horse chestnuts, not edible, she has such a tree.  Oh well.  I put them in our yard waste.

Well I learned walnuts have to be dried, shelled and baked at some point.

Friday Art - Ladybug

 I did a ladybug for Friday Art today.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic marker and watercolour pencil.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Ship and Chicken Wings

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Ship' theme!  Here is my ACEO (2 1/" x 3 1/2").

For the Dinner Date, we ordered in some chicken wings with garlic parmesan fries.  The wings were a BOGO deal (buy one order get one free).  The 2 flavours were honey garlic, and barbecue.

Mammogram 2024 and my red amaryllis plant update

 I had my biannual (every 2 years) mammogram recently and the test results came back normal within a week.  I go to a clinic where they do digital mammograms which are more accurate.  

The photos show my 5 red amaryllis plants which are thriving.  I had split some bulbs apart earlier this year.  In the fall, maybe I can cut them back and store them away until the New Year.  Maybe they will all bloom!
