Today Is Friday, October 4, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 


I wonder how my artist painted Iris. Most of the time, I think of Vincent Van Gogh. But I'm sharing an iris painting done by ALBRECHT DURER. I'm not sure how many flower pictures he did.

But it looks like he did over 800 WORKS.


But air in wheelbarrow tires. I forgot to mention yesterday that I pulled the books off the shelf in separate piles. One of the piles is a children's book. Notice I only have three of the Flower Fairies. There are eight of these books, or I could buy one book that covers all of them. The reason I moved the book off the shelf is that I can move the shelf so I can have an easier time getting to the plug-in behind the bookcase.

We had lunch at the senior center. The meal was orange chicken over rice.




I will get back to my artist trading cards. Here is one I'm linking to FRIDAY FACE OFF. It has been ages since I have done a Halloween Costume. My mother made most of my Halloween costumes. Sewing to her was therapy. But for some odd reason unknown to me. I want a gas pump costume. In 1960, the year I was born, gas was right around .30¢ a gallon.


Coffee is on.

  6. Cute costume. Our gas (petrol) is sold by the litre which is about two pints I think and I don't know the exact cost but it's too high and I'm glad I don't have a car.

  7. I am sad we lost the card my Dad sketched on Irises.
    I now have a tattoo combing what my Dad meant (part of the eye) and my Mom thought it stands for (flower).
    The first two years of my life they fought over it.
    Orange chicken? YUM!
