So this happened today. I tried to shut the lid so Teensie wouldn't scratch it, and ended up closing it on the dongle. Don't do that.

Mom is home!

Mom is in the hospital for a blood transfusion. She got anemic from blood loss due to a bleeding ulcer. I had to call 911 and get an ambulance to take her. She could not stand without passing out. It was so scary. But she is fine now with more blood.

We went to an open-house today. This house was not impressive, and it was small, but it had three out-buildings on its 5 acre plot plus a 3-car garage. It would be nice to have an actual art studio and an actual wood workshop for Dan. Plus, it had a pool. But it was $750,000 and not in a great location. 
We went to mom's for dinner tonight. She cooked!

Today is my 58th birthday.
Dan and I went to the game and out to dinner. I had a peaceful day. I like being busy, with things planned throughout the day, with down time inbetween each thing.

My mom is driving again. She had a small stroke a few weeks ago and was not allowed to drive, but today she took the car for a spin and did fine.

I harvested my sunflower today and picked out the seeds.
Next year I'll have a crop of these!

Our fridge broke in a lightning storm, and so we got a new compressor installed. It makes a high pitched noise. Here are some recordings of it--- see the spike at around 3000 Hz? I think that's what I'm hearing. It drives me crazy and I'm hoping that next week a new one is installed that does not make this noise. I can hear it all over the house and can't stand to be in the kitchen anymore. I downloaded some apps to my phone so I could analyze the noise.

FaceTime with Baby J today.... he headed for the bathroom to knock down the shampoo, lift the toilet seat, and play with the step to the trashcan. This boy!

Getting ready for the workshop tomorrow, I made this shirt. I dyed the fabric with weak logwood and then hammered flowers and leaves onto it. Added some tumeric water.

I taught last night and the night before. Now, I'm getting ready for another workshop on Saturday, this one on ecoprinting. Here is a sample I did.

 We had a lightning strike a few weeks ago and it blew out the fridge. Today a man came from LG to fix it, and he replaced the compressor with this one. It makes noise. It makes a high A note, constantly, and it's driving me CRAZY.
