Our first house together after we got married had a tiered garden in the back. We filled it with cosmos, nastirtium and zinnias along with other flowers and the occasional vegetable. The zinnias were the brightest and most colorful and very quickly became my favorite. They still remind me of those early, giddy days of wedded bliss. Of course, now the days are not-so-early, but I'm still giddy and it's still bliss. So I got that going for me.


Which is nice.

Painting #37
Apsco Giant 6 Hole Pencil Sharpener
7" x 5"
Oil on Canvas Panel
Sold

 New pencil sharpeners don't do it for me. No number of double AA batteries can provide the proper amount of power necessary for me to get the point I need. That's where the Apsco Giant 6 Hole Pencil Sharpener comes in. 6 holes to accommodate everything from golf pencils to pastel pencils to those giant starter pencils we had in kindergarten. Packed full of gears and blades working in perfect harmony to make short work of anything stupid enough to makes its way into one of its holes.

It weighs about 15 pounds. It could be used as a murderweapon in the game of Clue. And for some reason,it is a device that makes me very happy.
