When I walked out the greenhouse early one April day I was greeting by this lovely little creature hiding in the lettuce.  Of course I know immediately I had to paint him, but finding a name was hard.  I asked on face book and received several very good suggestions.  I wrote back to everyone trying to use most of the names that had been suggested.

If you listen carefully you can hear the head gardener, Clora Phil singing , “It's Not Easy Being Green”, while waiting for a fly to come by. As I say, “ time flies when you're having fun”, but Clora says, “times fun when you’re having flies “.

Watching all the fires this summer,  so sad, so many acres ruined.  Between climate change and man they just continue to get worse.
