Sunday Breakfast

Good Afternoon, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is titled Hollyhocks. I've had floodfills do some strange things before, but this was the first time I've seen it make ragged edges around the center fields, such as what one might expect on parchment. I still haven't succeeded in making the focused-in rays on purpose, but I've come closer I think. I also have a notion of how it might be accomplished.

My parents called and asked my husband and me to come over for breakfast- which was a bit of a surprise. When we went, I took my shiny new diploma to show them. which pleased them tremendously. I don't think Mom will be walking for a while. Dad, meanwhile, is getting a good close look at what goes on in the house while he's not there. Talk about an education!

I really have little else to report today. But I think I just might have something for you tomorrow.

Until We Meet, Gentle Readers...

A Quiet Day

Good Evening, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is a repost of one I made some years ago titled Nine-Eleven, and I think you can see why. Whole futures were cut off during the horrific events of that day, and a certain innocence was lost. While dwelling on the past will benefit no one, we should make sure we never forget.

While I did spend part of today attending to school stuff, more of it was spent helping my parents get and stack firewood. My parents have a small house, and one of the advantages is that there is little space to heat, or to otherwise tend. I was given to understand that this house was built some 70 or so years ago. While there are a number of places where the floor slopes- a lot- it's in remarkably good condition for its age. That's a good thing. I don't relish the thought of trying to to get things down those stairs!

Until We Meet, Gentle Readers...
