monday

i suppose it's summer in earnest now
we got the deck furniture up, and i am wondering if we can squeeze one more summer out of the umbrella (bernie wants a red one and i don't think it's a great idea.....so this one is taupe and i think inspite of some moss on it.. a better less bug attracting idea)

we'll get the red one eventually

my scarlet tanager pair is almost finished, the male of course is in 'screaming in your face' red....
the female is in soft shadings of grey and greens and yellows
and i am at the point where i am hating it..and thinking it's terrible so i'm almost finished with it!

general consensus is it's very good-- but really the better i get the less satisfied i am with what i have painted

in other news (which really isn't news but most of my life isn't news anyway) is that there is a male ruby throat hummer that is buzzing me when i go out on the deck........ so we'll be putting up a feed for him and his multiple wives...
i suppose a humming bird painting will then be in my future?

other then that..... right now everyone is well, i have that biopsy tomorrow
i don't expect any issues with that at all
and summer has arrived in green leaves and warm breezes

  1. We bought a blue patio umbrella about a year ago, and I have been disappointed in how much it has faded. I would think red would fade even faster. We had red and yellow plastic pots for our plants, and the red ones faded terribly, they are a pale pink now. The yellow ones look ok.

    I hope your biopsy goes well.

  2. ty vicki---- we're waiting for the results (next week i think)
    i am not really worried about it
    the pain was bad... still hurts but not quite as bad as during and yesterday.. it really knocked me for a loop
    bernie was like 'they had to have done more then just local numbing and the biopsy.... it was 7 needles all together i think..... but i crashed.... oh boy did i crash, i was out of it when they brought me out... they didn't realize, and i was not all there so i didn't say anything....but bernie got really scared
