My Hyacinth flowers in full bloom! Boy do they smell wonderful!!





Praying Mantis I found on the golf course! Never seen one before. I moved him to the tree since I could barely see him in the grass and didn't want to accidentally step on him!



My neighbors Hibiscus. This blossom is about 6 inches in diameter!



My tomatoes are finally starting to ripen!



My latest gourd for my manager. A pencil holder. Her family just got 2 puppies! The paint on the rim and design are gold and glitter is gold. I put some red glitter on the heart. Hard to tell in these photos. Still need to seal it to make it all shiny!

Love them all!

Your pics are great. I cant wait to plant some flowers and veggies. We had snow yesterday so might be a couple weeks yet. LOVE your gourd, turned out very nice. I am sure they will love it.

Your doggie gourd is beautiful, Barbie.

It is very enjoyable watching your progress as an artist.

Each new creation of your gourds is more lovely, and creative, than the last.

I think you are on to something!! Congratulations!

Ps.

This might sound weird and icky to some of you, but I have always admired the praying mantis.

I remember that there seemed to always be one or two in the shrubbery around the house where I grew up. One time I had some meal worms for a lizard that I kept at the time. Being a curious child, I decided to take one of the meal worms and offer it to the mantis to see what would happen!

LOL. He/she seemed very pleased to receive it, and gobbled it straight down. They are very interesting creatures.

Barbie, thank you for saving him/her.
