Okay, let's try this again

I do need to get back into blogging regularly. I have been writing on Medium and do need to share my articles here also. 

I have also been working on painting using a program from Escape Motions called Rebelle 5 Pro. They have since upgraded it to version 6, but I have yet to be able to afford the upgrade. I am seriously enjoying it. I picked it up last fall on a special they had for $10 a program.

I picked up two other programs, both particle systems that create some very nice art. One is called Flame Painter and the other is Amberlight.

Gardening has started I have a number of seedlings out in the greenhouse. Most are coming along nicely. I will have to restart a couple using a force method that uses a damp paper towel and a plastic bag. I have limited myself in how many varieties of tomatoes I have started. I have been overly ambitious for the last couple of years. Too many plants, not enough places for them. Once I get more raised beds in I can increase what I grow.

That's it for now. I am going to try and blog at least twice a week and with luck more once I get back into things.
