First Paddle

Bruce and I took our first paddle of the year on Lake Selmac yesterday.  Although the scenery was magnificent, the lake was pretty ugly.  The winter freeze usually cuts the algae down a lot.  Yesterday looked more like August than March.
 

Bird Chair Recovered

The new cover for the Bird chair arrived Friday.  We had a bit of a time getting the front to lay down flat.  But after a day with a sandbag on it, the fabric yielded to the wire frame.  Everything's fine.  The old one had compressed and faded over 23 years. 

Below is Harry Bertoia sitting in his creation with a Diamond chair in the background.

Final Knick Knacks

The final bric a brac came for the T's living room. A Bohemian green glass vase and a Kashmiri papier mache plate. 

Baby Sitting Poppy

We had Poppy for the day today.  She reminded us how special (and quiet) Seven and Banco were. Poppy is delightful but loud
 

And The Award Goes To ....Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Godzilla just won his first Academy Award.  I've been waiting 50 years for this!

We've been watching his new show on Apple.  The art department came up with some brilliant signage for monster sheltering.  I went online and of course there is all manner of merch with the warning signs.  I opted for a t-shirt that has been getting some interesting remarks.

The Worst Kind of Boredom

 

Pathology

The pathology report of the lopped off toe came back this weekend. The term "gangrenous necrosis" leapt off the page.  Seems there are a few different kinds of gangrene.  Fortunately, I didn't have the "turn black, rot and fall off" kind.

Bandages come off next Tuesday.

Yes. I Was Wondering

 

False Spring is Over

Our super mild winter came to a halt last night. We're waking to snow falling.  Not too cold but the plum tree blooms are not happy.
 

T's Tray

While searching recently for bric a brac for the T's living room remodel, I came across this tray.  From the pics online, I thought it was glass.  It came yesterday and it turns out to be very intricate marquetry work. And super shiny.
