Katy has a baby - Blankie for Baby - More Paintings on Back Porch

Hi Katy. Little did she know when this pic was taken a couple of years ago that on Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at 2 am she would deliver Haylinne Rose after 25 hours in labor.

Yee-oww!!!

Haylinne weighed over 8 pounds.

After meditating for 10 minutes and walking around the hilly block for exercise, I drove over to Specialist Flooring in Roslyn, PA, to buy one of Sandy's blankets.

Sandy's husband Nick, who just had varicose vein surgery, sold me my kitchen linoleum and a few carpets.

Such nice people. 

Sandy had dozens of blankets - for kids and adults - from which to choose.

Every one I picked up I wanted.

When I saw this, however, I knew it was the one.

Pink and grayish. Katy had told me the baby's bedroom was painted gray.

Speaking of painting, out onto the screened-in back porch I went

Am painting my sister's copper watering can. Needed to let it dry before adding more acrylic paint, and worked on other canvases.

Am happy about how the watering can came out. Thother is a bird house. The shape reminds me of a tiny van Gogh painting of a church I have upstairs in my baffroom.



Is that it?

See, when I make a painting, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I like to fill up the canvas.

And now, you, Dear Reader, fill up on life.
