The Northern Neck Plein Air Group met at my house today (well, two of us did, anyway) and ventured down to our dock. The water on this creek really is green as it reflects all the trees around it. In the winter it is much more grey and on occasion, blue.
Here it is on the easel and you can see what I was trying to capture. Thanks to my painting buddy, I went ahead and darkened the recesses in the woods.
COVID 19 has thrown a lot of folks for a loop. Staying home, food shortages, boredom, and generally questioning how we live our lives has caused a lot of folks to start looking at how to become more self-sustaining. This site will include a wide variety of things including how to cook from scratch (really, really scratch) and create a garden in hot & humid Virginia, our adventures in turning a shed into a chicken coop, and working with an old orchard that produces an abundance of ugly but perfectly edible fruit. And how to do all this with just two of us old geezers (I'll be 61 in June 2020 and my husband is older).

Green year round? Not at all. We got about a foot of snow several times this winter. Up until a month ago, we were wondering if it would ever get green again. This spring has been slow in coming and very, very wet.

ah….well, I guess I forget other parts of the US experience lack of moisture as well. We always turn brown starting in mid June and no rain until October. We might get less than half an inch but always with lightning which then we have to worry about fires. I assumed in your part of the country it gets rain enough to keep it green. 🙂 I envy green. lol
