Mural, Day Nine

Thursday was a short day. My good friend works at St. Anthony’s, and she is a fabulous gardener. We got caught up inspecting plants, discussing deer repellent and deer resistant plants. We also discussed my juicer, which I lent to her; it is perfect for pomegranates, which she grows. 

Friday was also a short day. I had to dig some plants before I started painting. After I painted for about 1-1/2 hour, my friend came to find me because the juicer wasn’t behaving. I went back to the kitchen with her, and we spent the rest of the afternoon juicing pomegranates.

Friendship can trump work when there is no deadline. 

Where should I begin?
Maybe this tree? (the weird pink line is a mysterious thing that my computer occasionally does to random photos.)
No, I think I’ll do the tree on the far right.
Better.
This big tree was next. I was mixing paint colors when my friend showed up.
When I returned to the mural, it was getting dark, so I just painted a few lines, sort of a map. That way I won’t waste time wondering where to begin when I return to work on Monday.

    • Lonna, you are so right about our friend at St. Anthony’s, Gardener Extraordinaire!

  2. Happy Thanksgiving!! Especially thankful that the trees are now safe from the devastating fires!! Have a blessed day!

    • Linda and Tom, Happy Thanksgiving to you! So much to be thankful for this year – escaping fires, escaping the virus (personally speaking).

  3. I like your last comment, except I would change one word:

    “Friendship *should* trump work when there is no deadline.”

    • Sharon, I try hard to not should on people, including myself. 😎

      • Ah yes, that makes sense, coming from a K.S. such as you!

        • Aw, shucks, thank you Sharon. Any kindness I have is direct intervention of the Holy Spirit, because it isn’t natural to me.
