This time of year, Jo spends gardening in the back yard.

It's a lot of work, but as you can see from this painting of hers, it's well worth it.

We thought of putting a deck out there, but the thought of losing the honeysuckle was not agreeable.

 

 

 

So maybe a patio one day.
     
At the end of last summer, Jo went up to the Chilcotin with her painting buddies. Lucky for me, I'm included.

One day, we took a long drive into the back country where Jo painted this fence and birch trees.

Majestic country, nobody there, quiet and peaceful.

 

This September maybe Italy.

 

Every year Jo does a more and more beautiful Christmas tree with ornaments collected for over 30 years.
It's like looking through an album and remembering dear friends, family and events.
 

One each year...
 
A lot of Jo's time is spent painting. Here is her painting of salmon spawning..

a gallery piece her friend and teacher says.
 

You can always email Jo and let her know what's up with you.
