Wow! Thank you for sharing that. I’m definitely taking notes for next year

How did you deal with the infestation?

Very cute. This year, I’ve seen a snake in my garden a couple times too, sleeping between the plants. I love it

I love this idea! I hope you enjoy and find new favorites. I recognized a many songs on this Bo Diddley album; Bring it to Jerome must be in dozens of movies, it’s a classic

My watercolor teacher encouraged us to not let our drawing/sketching abilities get in the way of painting. He gave us graphite paper which can be used to trace. I use that piece of graphite paper more often than not. Sometimes I’m in the mood to sketch something out but mostly I just want to get to painting right away, without sketching and erasing an image a thousand times until I’m happy with it

I like taking classes to learn new hobbies. I took a woodworking class last year and made a bench and coffee table. This year I took a watercolor class. Didn’t keep up with the woodworking because I don’t have a shop, but I’ve been watercoloring a TON since the class ended and I just love it. There’s lots of free lessons for all levels on YouTube

I’ve never heard of belly freeze
