Fruits and nuts

I've been promising photos of some of the lovely fruits and veggies I've been growing with my own two hands. Here are three for the road.

Also, I got my right shoulder blade tattooed this weekend and though it's a little sting-y, I'm totally in love with the art. I promise to post photos soon.

I actually asked my tattoo artist how he felt working on my back. Basically, I'm really uncomfortable with my body so I wanted to know if he was too. It's something I've been wanting to ask him for years but I've never been in a place where I could hear an answer. What he said was perfect..."He told me that I was a canvas, all canvases are different."

I feel pretty good about that. In the long run, in becoming more comfortable in my body, thinking of it as a canvas is something new to ponder....
