[Dave]

Another week has started. I hope it's a good one for you all.

I've been recuperating from a fall. Not a fall when walking or gardening; I didn't trip over Pippin. Last week I was in a deep sleep, enjoying an innocuous dream (my Dad was driving me and one brother to a restaurant for dinner). and I literally fell out of bed (that's a first for me), hitting a chair which deflected me into the solid wood bed frame. Ouch! I thought I had cracked a rib or two, but fortunately escaped that. But I've been pretty sore - even breathing hurt. But it could have been worse, and I'll get over it.

So I haven't been on my usual walks, meaning no new photos. Below is a a shot of sunrise over the wetlands, taken maybe 15 years ago and just reworked.

I did get started again with watercolors and posted the first sketch (just a value sketch to work on the darks and lights, plus get some much-needed practice with my brush strokes) in the Other Art thread.

TTFN, my friends.

Morrning Dave,
You are up early. No more falling out of bed....

Casper is a full 10 lb heavier Than Leroy. He is bigger boned too. Here he is in a relaxed position.

Dave, I don't think I have ever fallen out of bed, hope your getting better.
Beautiful sunrise!

Grant,
Wouldn't it be nice to relax like that! Cute!

OMG, that is the first I have heard if that. Maybe that is why they have guard rails on beds though.

Beautiful sunrise to start our week. Thanks, Dave. Now I shall go take a peek at your sketch.

Grant, it is funny how the two brothers are so different in weight. I assume they are both healthy . Does Casper eat a lot more than Leroy?

Hi, Rich. Heck, I have trouble turning over in bed especially after days like today. I worked fir 2.5 hours on weeding and replacing mulch in the backyard. It is a long and tedious job and I am only 1/4 done. It is so frustrating. What use to take me a day, now takes three!

Casper's head is 1/2 again larger. He stands taller too and he is longer as well.

I feel your pain Lorell! I was done with lawn and garden work in 2007 when we moved into this Condo. Don't miss it a bit although I still enjoy the smell of freshly mowed grass.
