Summer time highs and lows

 Dark and Stormy drinks on the deck...cool winds, green-heads not aggressive (yet). Been relaxing on the deck watching tons of baby birds. In the way back of my head is the worry of my  upcoming surgery of a new right hip. I know it is needed. But I am not fond of recovery. 

I now have a dedicated desk for my art table. Next heat wave, I will try it out. 

That's it for now. Have to driver to the warm water arthritis class.

Spring is warming up way too slowly this year.

Not My Photo but a grand photo indeed

 The ides of March did not favor me. I dare not to look up my calendar. It was a wild ride. It took my breathe away. List is below for your viewing pleasures.

• Failed my pap test
• Failed my yearly mammogram
• My friend feel out of bed and broke her hip and was being transported to a Boston hospital
• I still have a hard time with my YWCA 's sign in for the warm water pool.
• Booked a same day appointment with the Gynocologist and she explained my confusion of what I read on my medical portal and to calm down
• My other grand friend had a heart attack and is going into surgery for a pace maker
•  I  had a three hour visit with having a multitude of good and bad  shots of my left bosom and then I had an ultrasound of the same side boob (good news ...it was not cancer}

So long March, here's to spring marching in, I can be outside without freezing myself.

Coming Home to the Realities of Life

I took almost a 3 mile walk yesterday. What a cool and gorgeous day it was. The day started with excitement of being able to sign into the  Ywca's web for my arthritis class in the warm water pool. Anger that I forgot I have to learn again how to be kind to myself and stop getting angry when I make a mistake. Lastly, I need to learn to take mistakes and not feel rolling anger inside my head. 

 

Shadows from a glass interest me.

 Hello old friend, I have missed you. I have been busy with my  art journal and the internet. Foolish me. I have been led down a path of sorrow, fear, and confusion. It is not nice on this road. It has large loops which   are never ending.   Winter is coming and I do have a lot of projects to occupy myself. Watercolor, art journal, embroidering, making another bag, listening to my CDs. Yes, I do plan on being creative when this dark cloud goes away and the sun is shining .

Fire is starting to throw off some heat. 

Winter is on its way and I have lots of projects.  Embroidery, water color, reading non fiction books ,cooking

hot, humid,sticky weather and hungry greenheads

This is the part of summer that is hard to enjoy.  Still walking rail trail with Abby and myself. But being very careful not to overhead. Yesterday, I stuck my head under running water before continuing our trip at the Tannery. My back is stiff from trying to loosen the back with a yoga exercise. Well, that did not work. Maybe ice will work.
