how things are done

as you realize my posting is more sporadic,
partially this is because my spirit is definitely up
and of course i am tackling "projects".
My normal approach is to tackle the hardness and least enjoyable first.
So first i moved from an "office" on the first floor to a bedroom upstairs.
The reasons i was on the first floor were many,
but the most significant one was i had a hard time negotiating stairs with my eye sight and balance.
The difference in me is remarkable because even though, without the prism glasses, i still see double strongly, i am confident enough without the glasses that i can take the stairs.
I drove a good distance in Stamford yesterday afternoon, it was a challenge and an event.
i wanted to go the the Stamford Nature Museum's Maple sugar festival and i was with a non-driver, who enjoyed immensely.
So the though thing was to move and arrange a bedroom upstairs in what had become a storage area.
Last week i moved and then the struggle is to restore the office area to something functional.
I do not shrink from difficult things, but i get a "vision" in my head of what needs to be done and proceed.
many times it must be revised, but a challenge is good for me.
The slow process of sorting junk from treasure will be time consuming and sometimes emotional.
That is next on he list.

Rainy Days

Not an environmental post! I have separated the two ideas in 2 separate blogs.
I thought may be I would give an idea of what is going on.
Fist a lot of activity in my eyes, so much so could NOT use my glasses to do something with the computer this, morning, i could work with out the glasses tho...
Now that the glasses are able to be use, when I am up. things move around a bit so I sway!
So because it is rainy, I could not work on any of my projects in the yard, but I did get a picture of my favorite spring flower, the Bleeding Heart.

The "I am not painting people" post described some of those projects, pictured below.


But I am painting, with all the activity in the eyes, I decided I would do some more on my large project. It is a challenge. My first 2 photos of it are temporarily misplaced, but this is what I started with today.

We will see where it goes. It is one of the largest watercolor on board that I have attempted.
Take that back, it is the largest (20 x 29).
The memory I have of this farm house are over a year old the photos are older.
I have spent some time there with a number of my community. my older best friend and my mom (who grew up on a farm just like this in the 1920s).Early morning is the best time, it is quiet, except maybe the doves cooing. There is no city noise, little road noise. One can get there thoughts together and find solace, if not peace.
