Spring = lush, lush green. Everywhere.
We’re in the midst of some very hot temperatures, which will last at least a week. Lots of watering outside and on the porch and work on the dollhouse must take place in the morning hours. There is no air conditioning in the studio. That’s what I did yesterday and what I’m doing today.
I’m halfway through laying the floor in the bedroom. This is fiddly, painstaking work and what you see here took 4 hours to complete. I’m happy with it. Today, I will finish it. I will say it’s enormously satisfying to see it all come together!
Wild roses.
Buttercups. Love, love them.
You’ve read about my dear friends, Joe and Jan. We shared a house together for a few years, right before I moved to Philadelphia for graduate school. We lost Jan last year to cancer. Joe was there by her side throughout that battle, taking care of everything for her. Now, he is facing his own battle. He has a cancerous growth on his kidney, as well as a growth on his abdomen. The growth on his abdomen was removed during outpatient surgery a couple of days ago. He will have a partial robotic nephrectomy on the 18th to remove the carcinoma from his right kidney. It looks like it is early stage and that is a good thing. But this is very worrying. After all his constant support and care of our Jan, he’s facing this. Needless to say, I’m thinking of him all the time. Jan and Joe are/were like family to me.
And on that note, I’ll close.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
