Friday Face off meets Friday Smiles 476

 

This is my entry for Friday Face Off, or FFO, which is hosted by Nicole aka DVArtist.  I can assure you, this is smile worthy.  Note the blue table and chairs in the background.  You will see those again.

My friend Joseph, who lives in California in the states, was explaining the various steel drum classes he was involved with over Zoom.

He is one of only 40 artists in the entire Los Angeles city and county to hold one of these prestigious positions.  Some artists are painters, some dancers, etc., but only one steel drum musician. I'm sure Annie (our host at A Stitch in Time) and the lovely ladies who join her each Friday at Friday Smiles will understand why I smiled the entire weekend.  I'll share more of Joseph on Tuesday for T.

While out back with Joseph, I noticed my geranium, which I had recently transplanted to save it,

 

had already started to bloom.  Happy dance!!

  You may remember this view of the blue table and chairs amid the "forest" by the fence.

In this photo, I've started to clean the area.  I did this in stages so I didn't get too tired and overdo myself.

I began with the hand tools

then reached

for the big guns.  I do like my tools.

It may not be the choice of some

but I was quite pleased with this spot that was so different from the patio area.

I was also quite pleased with once again finding

my "drunken path"

and where it leads.

Thanks for visiting and spending a bit of time with Bleubeard and me this Friday.  Now PLEASE visit Annie and Nicole and don't forget to start your weekend with a smile.  

 
I hope this doesn't offend anyone.
