I was telling my friend Joyce about my sweet potato vines, how they go crazy, require so little care and keep that lovely Spring green color throughout the hot summer. I said I would take a picture to share, so I went out today and took a few shots. By the end of the summer, it is hard to even get into the house. The only reason they do not extend over the sidewalk in front of the house is because I mow them when I am cutting the lawn. I just mowed. Can you believe all this started from five small plants?

I mowed the lawn yesterday when I got home from work so that I did not have to worry about getting it done over the weekend. So now, I can dispose of my time as I see fit. An early morning romp with Asha, a little grocery shopping and a little time in the studio. Bliss. 

This is a quick drawing I did before work yesterday. It is of my mother as a young woman. The photo I used as my reference source may be  viewed here.
