'Summer Garden' 15 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for Commission work: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2006 "Let the fig tree teach you a lesson. When its branches become green and tender and it starts putting out leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you will know that the time is near, ready to begin. Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

CLIMBING ROSES 8 x 10 on Linen Panel Contact me for pricing. Please mention the title of the painting. Laurie Finally the rain has let up. Yesterday Morgan and made a dash in it to the grocery store. YUMMM. I love fruit from Whole Foods. I have 8 bags that I use for the large hauls.

You can see in the sink I have a white bowl that I use veggie scrub in and we literally scrub or gently wash the fruit and veggies removing all labels before putting them in the refrigerator. I miss living in the country with my garden, but organic fruits and veggies to us are worth the price. Today we will be cleaning and shuffling the last of the mess here to prepare for the health inspection tomorrow as we finish up our las...
