Enjoy this silly video of my cat as I remind people in Wyoming that tomorrow is the last day to update your voting information. Do not forget this important date. Early voting is July 21st at the courthouse (most likely, check with your courthouse for your voting location).

I love this time of year. Seeing all the bumble bees brings me joy.

I usually make my mom her Mother's Day card. Here is this years, done using ball point pens. #tulips #mothersday #ballpointpens #traditionalart #penandink

Four tulips done with ballpoint pens. The colors used are pink, purple, light blue, green, and orange. There is crosshatching in the background.

Something I'm working on to bring myself joy. Double banded beea around wild lupin. I wanted a skinny spouted watering can to make it easier to fill my self watering mushrooms. #wildlupin #nativebees #acrylicpainting #wateringcan

Three wild lupins that are sillouttes. There are two white bee sillouttes. The background is black. It is on a small watering can with a skinny, long spout and a small handle.

Pictures of some of the successful prints. There are two more.

A traditional relief print with a grumpy cat in the center and the text Grumpy But curved around him. The paper has red, yellow, and orange scattered throughout it.

A quick sketch I did of an angry bird I did on 3/28/26

A pen and ink bird done on pink paper with a blue ball point pen. The corner of the paper is ripped. The bird is very round with tilted up tail feathers standing on a leaf with an angry expression.

Some french beading I tried to make for my mother's Christmas present. I'm new to it. The patterns I used for the daffodil, daisy, and iris are from bead and blossom. The other two I tried to alter. The Aster has the center of the zinnia pattern with daisy petals.

Beaded flowers, the red petals on the poppy are falling down, behind it a daisy tilted to the side and an iris above it. The daffodil is facing away.

I planted some crab apple sprouts a while back. Had to put them in the fridge for ten weeks with some soil. They are now sprouting!

Two apple sprouts coming up from dark soil in a rusty red pot. There is a wooden box around them and a yellow sticky to the side of the pot.

An apple tree sprout with four leaves, it is in dark soil in a small blue pot. There are burlap pots on either side of it and a wooden side on the other sides

A pinkish apple sprout in a teacup pot. The pot has bumps around the upper rim of it and the handle is pointing away in the upper left corner. There is a white pot to the right of it and a terracotta pot with a yellow rim to the left of it. There are roses on the side of the pot and a wooden box behind it.

An upper view of the previous picture of the pink sprout.

Let's see if I can get some crab apple sprouts!

Looking into a plastic bag with a purple top and a clear lower half with damp soil and apple seeds inside.

A plastic bag tied off that has purple, yellow, and red on it. It has soil inside that you can see through the clear section. It is in the vegetable drawer in the fridge next to bagged lettuce and a blue apple shaped container.

Trying to propagate a rose cutting to make into a bonsai. Wish me luck!

A rose cutting inside a small blue pot with a jar over it. There is a crochet cacti in the background along with a lego butterfly and a wooden shelf. There is a pink and green leaf peeking out behind the jar.

Some sleeping bees. They must've had a hard day at work.

Another watercolor with pen and ink donation. This time a cute black bear. I love silly bears.

A frigid bee perched on a black bear's nose. The two are surrounded by native Wyoming wild flowers. Including fireweed and pipsissewa. The bear has it's tounge sticking out. The piece is water color with pen and ink.

I do art sometimes. This piece is being donated to a local fundraiser called Love Local for an art auction. I might be able to get one more piece done for it.

A pen and ink with water color piece featuring two bison, one is a calf. It has native wyoming flowers including the crested prickly poppy and the hoary tansy aster. The adult bison is lowering it's head towards the calf, almost nuzzling it. The flowers overlap the adult bison in the lower left corner and are behind the bison in the upper right. The background is a muted purple.

Back from the vet with a clean bill of health. Bloodwork is excellent, so was the physical exam. She did good, despite being stressed. No hissing or growling. Just complaints.

One of the cutest, sweetest cats. Chilling before her check-up at the vet.
