Getting My Groove Back

Today was a mowing day. After all the rain we've had, the grass was pretty thick. I started out early, and the lawn was still pretty wet, so it was a little harder to cut than usual. It took over 3 hours.

I did some watercolor painting last night, and it was too complicated a picture, so I ended up abandoning it. I resolved to take on simpler subjects from now on, and that's what I did tonight. I enjoyed doing the painting. They were being sold in Stresa, Italy at a roasted chestnut festival. It was a really colorful event, and it was fascinating to watch. I love the photo, and the watercolor painting of it - well, not so nice. I'll take it in to my class on Thursday and ask for some advice from my instructor. I wouldn't mind doing it again to see if I could do it any better.

I'm going to be starting back doing my volunteer job at the library. I've gone in once in a while over the past year, but only a few times. Now I've made a commitment to going in on Tuesday afternoons. I'll enjoy getting back into it again, and it sounds as if there will be some moving around coming up that will mean a lot of extra work.

Tomorrow I have another Herceptin appointment. It's been a while since I've been there, and it'll be good to see everyone again.
