 If you missed my previous post, I talk about how I was recuperating from the PA Gourd fest. It was a great time, but does leave me exhausted afterwards! In that post, you will see some photos of my "best of show" gourd, Pangur Ban. I will link to it here.
In this post, I want to also share with you the other gourd I entered, I call it Tern, Tern, Tern.

 The PA Gourd Fest was last weekend and I needed a few days to recover! It was a great time and I always enjoy spending time with other gourd enthusiasts. The four classes I taught were full and so much fun. It was delightful to reconnect with gourd friends I have not seen since last year, and meet new ones!
I entered two gourds in the competition, and intentionally kept them a secret until afterwards. Let me tell you about the first one, Pangur Ban.  Grecian Windflower blooming in my garden As I write this, I am listening to the sound of a mourning dove calling. A familiar spring sound that I have quite forgotten about over the winter. The local greenhouses are filling up with beautiful plants and I am finding myself browsing them and using all my willpower not to buy more than I have room for this year!
Since my 2026 calendar has dropped one show due to conflicting dates the beginning of the year has been devoted to class development, both in person and online. For me, that means I had more time to give to creating some resources that have been brewing on the back of my mind for a while, and I am wrapping up most of them right now. So now is the time for the unveiling!
Funny that should be the title of my post, I couldn't think of anything better. Being that I am sharing these photos on my blog that is on the internet for all to see, it is hardly exclusive. No passwords are needed. No special links. Some of these I may even put on instagram, or a work in progress short on youtube.....
Just a short little post today, I wanted to share some little beauties that visited my garden today.
 After about 10 years of heavy use my Burnmaster was asking to be retired. She still works, but is not at the optimum efficiency. She buzzes, her cords get hot, and pens are not retaining their heat as consistently as they used to.
So the little lady will have a rest, and if she is willing she might be helpful as a lender if someone is in need during a class.  The three day PA Gourd Fest was such a nice time and I am sad it is over. I have reserved sharing photos of a couple of gourds I intended on entering into the competition. Now that it is past I can show them to you now and tell you a little more about them.
