oh yes, honey, we can

Marcus planted this little lime tree in our garden last year, and right now it's full of blossoms and, yes, limes. I cannot wait until they're ripe. Rum punch for everyone!

If you ever need convincing that the Chookooloonks community right here on this site is composed by a bunch of bona fide rock stars, then, my friends, click right here to read the comments on yesterday's post. Seriously, have you read those? All of you who, within just 5 years, have gotten married, have gotten out of toxic relationships, have had children, have had grandchildren, have started over, have succeeded -- and most importantly, have become more authentic? We should all be so amazingly proud of ourselves and what we've achieved in the past 5 years. Let's take a minute to bask in our greatness, man. We've totally earned it.

And now, to the business part of this post: consulting my oracle, the winner of yesterday's giveaway of a 12x12" print "Sunday Blossom" is Leatitia, who said "In the last 5 years, I've graduated, moved in with my boyfriend, worked full time, moved back to my hometown sans boyfriend, started a new job in a new city. I also bought my first car and met my first niece."  Congratulations, Laetitia!  I'll contact you via e-mail to get your deets.

This week, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things -- now that I haven't got gallery openings or speaking engagements to worry about.  It's good to get back to some normalcy.  But before I do, I want to thank you for all of your kind words and support over the past two weeks, everyone.  It's seriously meant so much.

(By the way, for those of you who enjoyed the Momversation from last week, I was invited to do a second one -- you can see it here.)
