Dark though the times may be, the residents of the city thrived whenever they could.
Growth is happening. I’ve graduated from UW-Milwaukee Peck School of Art and Design. I have work, a commission, and inspiration to work on Guardians of Gaia with the beginnings of a new painting. My little farm experiment is getting bigger. Gifts from Madison arrived with my grandmother: Tomatoes and Herbs. I’ve opened up a new garden plot to fit them with the spring crop I’ve already started. My studio space has expanded as other students leave for the summer. Times are good. The sun is shining.
Two weeks passed since the planting began. My fear grew stronger each day that scores of vegetative souls would parish in my little front yard garden plot. As weeds began to flourish I began to panic. Not really, but when I saw these little green sprouts emerging (top img = peas, bottom img = beets) it was a great relief. I hope this crop is good one. I look forward to eating what I’ve planted and living up to what some of my agricultural drawings depict. Yay art, yay food!
