It was a very busy week. Patrick came down to take me to Asheville. So sad to have to drive past the south end and see so much damage to Biltmore Village on the river. Favorite shops and restaurants devastated, We had a quick lunch at a place that gets its water from the World Central Kitchen organization for cooking and serving. Food was very good at this bakery/wine shop called Mother.
While Patrick worked remotely from here, I drew and painted.
Doodled around with Christmas card ideas…..
Boiled my stitched rocks in paste….
I like the feel of them and will do more when my fingers rest.
Now I am working on a carved woodblock Christmas card.
Patrick went home yesterday and took my old book shelves with him. They are now in Amy’s house. He also took a carton of children’s books and craft books that my work was included in. Some way back to the Lark Publication days.
I am going to make a soup for dinner…polenta, cannellini beans, spinach, garlic and parmesan. The picture looked good so I wrote down the recipe. Normally I would fix this for dinner. garlic crostini on spinach with poached egg and some scattered bacon bits.
We are completely worn out with the election coming up. There is such an abundance of ignorance and grievance from a large portion of our country. There is no reasoning with them when all they hear is an abhorrent little man and his petty, vindictive sycophants. We will all be glad to see it over and of course are hoping to see the end of Trump.
I am going to go have a wine…maybe with a neighbor,,,
Til later, when it is a better, more hopeful time.
