Winter Apples


What kind of apples do you eat? I love "theallsorts". 


All sorts of apples! My favorite is the Honeycrisp! It's PLU (price look-up code) is 3283. This sweet and firm eating apple was released in 1991 from Minnesota.


#4147 is the Jonagold - a cross between the Jonathan and the Golden Delicious.


The Cortland #4106 has been around since 1898!

Stay tuned! There are over 7,500 cultivars of apples!

Corvid-19 A lesson in Collective Nouns


A COLLECTIVE NOUN is used to name a group of individual people, places, or things.


Crows are CORVIDS. 19 crows in one place is referred to as a MURDER.


150,000 Cases of the COVID-19 VIRUS is called a PANDEMIC.

Corvids were painted with Noodler's Bulletproof Black Ink. Flower doodles were done with a Lamy Safari pen over blobs of watercolor.

Junk Journal Chatty Flip 2


This is my second journal and it's even junkier than the first! Cardboard and netting from the kitchen, old envelopes and birthday cards, photos, ribbons, paint color swatches, and so many bits and bobs. Oh yeah, and way too much glitter! But so much fun!
