| Toril and Tully Collaboration "Beety Babies" 24 x 36 Roots; and all Some vegetables I eat Husk shell, eat seed or greens Others, the other way Eat their roots, trash the tops Life is like that, I know Values, pride is the guide The seeds are important Offspring their legacy Some worry where'd they come Of their roots they are proud Balanced diet I try Like my roots, love the seeds .

_ _ _ _ Poem Copyright, © 2015 Jimmiehov, All Rights Reserved Pictures are of paintings by Toril and Tully that Margaret posted. Read about Tori here . Today I am linked with Margaret at the Real Toads, Artistic Interpretations with Margaret "-- " Art with Toril .
- From the link above: "Tori 'currently resides in LaFarge, Wisconsin, and manages a small farm, Second Cloud on the Left Farm, with her husband Drew and her parents. The farm specializes in growing all heirloom, endangered, and rare varieties of produce.'"
- Besides these 'tops and root veggies' I like Toril's "The Emperor's New Sweater" (18 x 18) and her "Old Friends" (20 x 20) the best. See these and more at Margaret's link. Note: My 'roots' are European, Manx (Isle of Man), English, German. My 'seeds' are: five (5) kids (three sons, two daughters); six (6) grandchildren; and two (2) great-grandchildren with another (1) due in April. |
