Black and Blue

Yesterday afternoon the sky was so beautiful with the sun behind the clouds. The edge of the clouds were white as could be back-lit that way. Sometimes sharp contrasts make the eye take notice.

Day before yesterday I was watering the landscape beds. As I was walking to the back garage door I tripped on the wet step and I fell against the stoop. Luckily I didn't break anything, but I have this huge black and blue bruise on my hip. The bruise is about eight inches long and three inches wide. Yikes, I don't think I've ever seen a bruise that big. At least not a bruise on me. Today I am really sore in more places than just my hip.

 A couple of days ago I thought my studio closet was getting rather messy, so I straightened it up a bit. It's amazing how much stuff (tools) one can amass working in clay.

I hope to get to some clay work today, unfortunately other duties have pulled me away. I want to make more bargello towers, work on circle baskets, and a few other pieces. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  5. Hi Anna, thanks, I was hoping folks wouldn't be too grossed out by my showing the bruise, but I was rather surprised at it's color and size.

    Hi Jimmy, thanks so much, I've really got to be more careful, they say most accidents happen at home and I am beginning to believe that.

    Hi Amy, thanks, yes never enough time for sure, but keeps us on our toes.

    Hi Turquoisemoon, thanks, ok I don't feel so bad now, except I feel really bad for you and you took the time to type a note to me, thanks ever so much, I hope it wasn't a bad break and you get better soon.

  6. that's a nasty looking bruise, no wonder you are sore all over. i have only had a horrible bruising once, and it was from a car accident... massive bruising is frightening to look at! I hope you feel better soon.

  7. Hi Michele, thanks, I understand an automobile accident can be quite bruising and the second day is worse than the first. I'm taking it easy today.

  11. Hi Ms, Sparrow, thanks, I try to keep busy, Ha. I must remember to slow down though.

    Hi Elephant's Child, thanks, I am amazed at that bruise, it keeps changing color, thankfully nothing broken, but I must be more careful before my luck runs out.
