Senior Project, Plan B

Molly originally planned her Senior Project around a Spring Break trip to Greece. At this very moment she should be cruising the Mediterranean somewhere between Mykonos and Santorini. Or perhaps they’d be heading back to Athens by now.

Having already researched Greek architecture, her best photos from the trip were to be turned into water colors at our dining room table during the last three weeks of May. This collection of a dozen or so paintings was intended as a surprise for the art teacher who has been near and dear to her heart ever since sixth grade.

Enter Senior Project, Plan B.  Pre-cut cedar planks for two 4 x 4 foot garden beds, ten bags of organic garden soil, and one hunk of peat moss await assemblage and the return of a warm day. The new plan is to raise vegetables for AFAC this summer because of the increased need for food in our community. The old drill is at the ready with batteries charging. We have just enough room next to my existing 4 x 8 tomato bed to lay the additional footage.

Maybe she’ll do a few watercolors of her Victory Garden instead.
