Even though, I met you in a short period of time. You mean everything to me. I want to see you live a long life, smile and be happy.

Plant of the Day

Sunday 28 March 2021

A range of Viola tricolor var. hortensis (pansy) cultivars were being compared at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Hyde Hall, Essex. The ‘faces’ of the flowers show a huge variety of colours and markings. It is fun to consider how these could be associated with Tulipa (tulip) cultivars for container or bedding displays.

This was an early assemblage I created in 2012 for my first gallery show "Lost & Found" curated by Matt McKinley at @arcgallerysf. In it the child figure is racing the ripples of time with one leg extended towards life and one arm reaching back to the afterlife. The snowflake's eye opens and closes when spun around on its pivot and the hurdy gurdy music box in the lower right corner plays "A Few of My Favorite Things" when its crank is turned. I wish I had a video of all these interactive aspects in action but ten years ago I did not consider that IG would pay favor to Reels. Ce la Vie.

#Repost @mommybeerest ・・・ That mom life tho. 😯 Raising 2 teenagers with very different schedules & interests, running a small business that is 45 minutes away from home , and now a small side job (very gratifying but work is work)... I rarely make time for the fun things like dying my hair, matching together my socks (or even finding them) and hanging Christmas lights in my room, writing recipes and picking fun foods😂 The necessary labors of love typically take priority over the things I want to do for myself. But there is always a beer... a nice cold craft beer at the end of the day is a treat I can always afford and make some time for. (Even if I am doing so while leaning on my washer with faded hair and dryer sheets propping my beer up for that perfect shot while my kid asks me a math question I will definitely have no idea where to even start to find the answer to...) <takes a gulp> 😌 The time I take for savoring each golden drop is short lived, but so are the years I get to raise these precious girls. 👭 so today I’m raising a glass of SHORT LIVED 🍻@madewestbeer to all the moms out there. Keep on raising those people that came out of you, and keep on sipping the craft beers. 🍻My kitchen sink is full, but so is my heart. ♥️ #beer #mommyneedsabeer #mombeer #mommybeerest #thatmomlife #singlemom #beerselfie #veryunperfect #shortlived #madewest #drinklocalbeer . . . Thanks @inkdmomkpg for bringing myself together with some amazing “beer moms” - you’re all an inspiration to me! https://www.instagram.com/p/B2k3BaSHcPI/?igshid=1cnu74xdlztig
