The difference between men and women is real y'all. Seriously real. LOL Several months ago we had the need to move my work table from the mezzanine of the shop to the main floor. My first thought was to round up a bunch of guys from the neighborhood and "make er happen". Right? Wouldn't that have been yours? Not Jeff's. Nope. Don't...

Meet Thomas. (Yes, the orchid is a painting.)
The peonies have captivated me like nothing else.
I was very excited to receive this sneak peek at what will be hitting the news stands this week. We made the cover of Spring In The South!!!
