My son, Nick, has a cactus plant.
His name is “Cashew.”
He put Cashew out on the deck recently
to give him some bright sunshine and warmth.
Cashew used to be quite overgrown,
but after several months of neglect, he is being revived.
On Sunday, when he was outside
grilling the burgers for dinner
and my camera was set up ready to take a photo
for the Guacamole Burger blog post,
Nick decided to shoot some “glamour shots” of Cashew.
After all, Cashew was looking prettyย Sharp!
Yep – Looking Sharp Cashew!
I’d really say you do!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Cashew definitely deserves a painting from Mom. Sunlight and love certainly brought out his beauty! He is handsome! ๐ โค

Yes indeed – his pot was much too boring to paint as is – YAY for the beauty of art and making it whatever you want ๐
We are a bit silly around here naming a cactus and having a dog who speaks with a lisp LOL! Gotta keep life fun ๐

He looks very insect-like. The plants I put outside are much happier too…the winter is long for them indoors. And your painting definitely shows him smiling! (K)

haha! Thanks Sharon – we are quite silly – eh? Seriously you would have thought Nick was shooting Sports Illustrated Swim suit models the way he was bending and twisting the camera and his angle. I said “what are you doing?” And he simply replied, “Taking Glamour shots of Cashew” He is a nut – haha – Pun intended ๐
