Purple

Something from my sketchbook: the theme for creative tuesday is purple and the theme for the sketchbook challenge this month is resist. So this applies to both, I can't resist anything sweet, specially pie. I never used to like fruit pie, I liked peanut butter pie and pecan pie, and of, course my favorite was my mom's lemon merangue pie, but now I like grape pie and rhubarb pie, etc etc etc. Don't you just love the scene in the movie; Michael, where they're eatting pie at the diner and they're talking about they're favorite kinds and she sing a song about pie? (The photo is bad, couldn't get a good shot, too blurry.)


Pie
Pie
Me oh my
Nothing tastes sweet, wet, salty and dry
all at once o well it's pie
Apple!
Pumpkin!
Minced
an' wet bottom.
Come to your place everyday if you've got em'
Pie
Me o my
I love pie




And since my yard finally looks like spring I had to post some pictures... this morning it looked like a fairy land, the grass completely covered with forget me knot, violets and there' purple Myrtle out back, which crept over from the cemetary which is behind my yard, now they're mostly gone as we had to mow. Sucha  shame. Happy Mother's Day!
