• Reconsidering

  After finding some almost dried up Gesso in the basement yesterday afternoon, coupled with the Pope’s statements about how over-consuming and wasting food was stealing from the poor and starving, I decided to salvage the mail box instead of buying or making a new one.  This is the 2nd coat of Gesso…it’s still pretty rough but maybe a light sanding will have it ready to paint.  Or another coat of gesso.I even found my old acrylic paints, which hopefully can be used as well.  I don’t expect perfection in this project.  

  We had turnips & a lettuce salad from the garden last night.  Along with corn on the cob I bought and left-over brats.  In spite of the cool weather (for June) the lettuce is starting to bolt.  Dennis and I are both weeding when we can.  The rain and soggy soil makes it difficult.

  Time is relative.  It’s hard to believe today is already Friday.  Vacation time goes by much faster than work time.
