Aerin's home from college today, back on our side of the river. All her stuff fit in my tiny car, along with her sister and me and a bunch of dead daffodils that were making spring smell kind of funky. All her life is at the house now, and she will get it schlepped to various resting places over the next day or so.

Alice took the Calc AP test today, and then a huge Latin test and was kind of droopy when I got her after a stats AP prep session.

Al had the first tuesday night hike of the season.

Things are pretty good from one angle. And I am tired and unhappy and mildy frustrated with artwork from another angle. So.

I am working steadily on things i ahve no idea what I will do with. Ideas from Japanese thought and culture that I am probalby appropriating; drawing circles (Enso) which mostly look like this (once I found the balance between brush size, canvas size and circle size):
circle 5 four circles

and then kintsugi, which is the beautiful mending of treasured porcelain, which when I try to do it in fabric looks like of like this:

kintsugi 1 silver

I can think of a couple more variations for the kintsugi, and I have no clue what i'll do with them.

S is home from hospital for a while, and starts chemo May 18. i'm part of the group with calendar priviledges so i can open spaces for people to help with things like driving, and cleaning and cooking and taking someone shopping, and see how it goes.
