Here’s another oldie from my No Man’s Sky travel journal. I did a series of three on this planet, I’ll share the third next week, and the first is here.

on a rainy monday
Have I really never painted my own garden? I always mean to, but somehow the kit never comes out unless I’m working on something more formal down in the furnace workshop, or on the road somewhere. Thought I’d paint out my own window for a change.
Yesterday was a washout, so I posted up at the little desk in the kitchen and played around with my folding travel brushes from Rosemary & Co — this was all done with a squirrel mop and a filbert instead of my usual size 4 round.
Variegated hosta, spiderwort, wild violet, random turf grass, and creeping charlie. Just like this painting, it’s kind of a mess.
Moleskine and watercolor.

welcome to golden glow
Hello! I’ve been away on vacation three weeks, simultaneously fulfilling two longtime dreams; building a catio and attending a barn raising party.
The second was, of course, in spirit, but we built a free standing cat house into an existing (beloved) deck and replaced two-thirds of the deck boards in five days with help of heroic visiting family in possession of know-how and skills and if that’s not what a barn raising party feels like then I don’t know what is.
And fans of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in the audience?
It was really really fun, is what I’m saying, and now I’m “styling it,” because I’m that person. The white deck chair cushions are already covered in muddy little pawprints. I let them dry, and then brush them off with a straw hand whisk broom while the puppy barks at me.
It’s like this with most new things and then she gets with the program.

I’ve shared this one before, but I much prefer this earlier version. I wish I’d scanned it, but I was glad to at least find a photo in my phone, and thought maybe you’d like to see it, too.
So relax a minute in the cool shade, and watch the pale melon clouds drift by. See you tomorrow.
