took a dive out of crow pose today

Oh wait, Yoga Journal calls it a crane, not a crow. Either way I saved my forehead by landing on my knee... I haven't gone to yoga class for months and today was a Marnie Day. She teaches a fairly tough flow style class. Meaning you don't get time to rest if you don't want to...and it was good. Exactly what I needed except for the near face plant.

I've been slightly off my game lately between the really long daylight hours (sleep is weird) and the 'extra' job that involves loud talking 20 somethings with lotsa dra-ma in their lives. ...and the lack of regular art or exercise.

I got out the paints this week and did some yoga today. nod.

Spring business

Counting tree rings is pretty cool, this thing is half the diameter of a stump my friend Norm cut down. It's huggable in size, I can lift it to carry it back out to the wood shed... it's over 400 years old! Some decades were good and there are easily counted rings about 1/8 of an inch apart, some eras weren't so good and they're all packed together. This baby was alive when Q.E. I died!

This wasn't as fun. The dog was growing another tumor on her face (sqeam warning) I sent this photo to the vet in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada and a week later drove about 6 hours to camp a night then drop her off for the day for an exam and surgery. 750 bucks later the big icky lumps are gone! I wanted to take her to a real vet so she didn't have to be under anesthesia for too long, she's 15 and has had many other surgeries..didn't want to risk complications from being put under. It was a long and tiring trip, but she's lookin' pretty good with her new Elvis sneer. They had to take part of her lip off to get the big icky bump.
What else is going on... No beading or knitting for a while, I'm working two jobs and it's summer gardening time. There's a flock of tomato plants on the front porch ...
Living in a sort of a greenhouse made of salvaged windows. The one behind the two red pots slides open so the can can get in and out. Very handy because I can leave the door open and the dog won't amble away. This is an old picture they're all about 4x this size and looking lovely. The big one on the right has flowers and a couple of wee green toms too!
