The cuttings I took of the morning glory bush are sending out roots and still giving me an occasional flower from buds that were already developed enough albeit smaller
When I got up this morning the predicted low for tomorrow (Tuesday) had dropped from 17˚ to 12˚. I don’t think it has ever gotten that cold here in my life. Now at nearly noon forecast has risen two degrees to 14˚ but still a 91% chance of precipitation, meaning ice or snow for Tuesday. Tonight only 25˚ and I can’t decide if I want to get the cats in the shed tonight or not. Today is cold, windy, and overcast. Whoever has been working on the house next door has been there every day for about the last week and a half but not today. The only thing good about this arctic air is that it will be short lived, really just one terrible day and night with each succeeding day warmer and warmer and nearly 70˚ on Saturday.
I’m not going to talk about the other terrible thing happening today.
I got my grocery shopping done on Sunday so I shouldn’t have to go out for any reason until Thursday, my SHARE day or to feed the cats. I worked on my painting yesterday, am working on it today. Currently waiting for it to dry and assess where I’m at.
You might remember that my electrophysiologist wanted another TEE (transesophageal echocariogram) to check on the Watchman device in my heart three months after the first TEE in October after the procedure last August which showed a .2 leak (within the normal range) to see if it continued to heal up. Well, that’s been scheduled for next Monday the 27th and I hope to all the powers that be that this will be the very last time they go poking around the inside of my body.
We finished watching The Outlaws on Prime which we really enjoyed and I highly recommend and wrote about the premise here. Now we’re into the second season of Eureka (also on Prime), a small town of the most brilliant scientists and high IQ individuals doing all sorts of research at Global Dynamics around which the town grew up and in which things go awry with regularity and it’s up to the average IQ sheriff to get things squared away.
Not much else to write about.
It's supposed to be down in the twenties like five nights running here.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I have to say at the moment.
Codex: Eureka is what I used to call sci-fi light. All the characters are likeable, no great meaning or depth, just light entertainment and relaxing. Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your health issues. I'd bring the cats in today just in case.
Codex: You picked a difficult flower to paint despite it's simplicity. Doesn't even have well defined petals. Mix some ultramarine with the green you used (not to much pigment) apply it to the bottom of the petals. Light at first, you can always go darker later.
ReplyDeleteI think another commenter was right, you approach it like Glas art. Nothing you can do about it now but the stigma cheetos are too large. It's an interesting image though.
Codex: P.S. If you have any transparency paper(not the plastic printing kind), you can lay it on top of a dried watercolor painting, trace the outline with pencil and add just the color in one area to see what it would look like
