Maybe or Maybe not

 Maybe or maybe not, that is the answer, but for all you Jeopardy fans what is the question? 

Will any of my pea plants live long enough to produce pea pods or will the squirrel continue to eat them all as they come up? So far the squirrel is winning but I am determined. I have tried barriers, no success but I will replant and I have a few more tricks up my sleeve (cayenne pepper may be involved); stay tuned. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind sharing with the wildlife, but they should not take everything!

 

 Fantastic News:

I know I am repeating myself but..

The Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) has just granted me signature status.
What does that mean?
Signature Status with the FCA recognizes a high level of excellence achieved by an individual artist. I can now add the letters AFCA (Associate Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists) to my signature.

The "Success Spring 2022 Exhibit" at the FCA Gallery on Granville Island featured two of my paintings: these are two of the three paintings that went to the live jury portion of my signature application.
