“I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move. ” – Georgia O’Keeffe.

We have a severe thunderstorm watch and warnings for the next few hours; I’m getting offline and helping to get the farm ready. We might or might not lose power. Weather has been taking a significant role in our lives every day now, as it has for days, while our leaders fight and hold meetings.

Mara got a new beautiful leaf/flower named “Heart Of Jesus,” and I was mesmerized while photographing it with my other flowers. I was told it’s a leaf, not a flower, but you could have fooled me.

These pictures are special to me.

I got to go. Enjoy the photos, see you in the morning.
