good morning end of june
Hazy morning window. View from where I sit at my laptop. Doesn't look so good in the photo but the view of this is beloved to me.
It is so nice to come into my studio and the first thing I do is NOT have to look for a new poop or pee to clean up. So glad that I have banned the animals (Milo and Rainy) from my room. Though I do feel a bit sad for them. I had to harden my heart. And now I am enjoying the fruits of that hardening.
One of these days I will be moved to dust this shelf, clean the window and rearrange things.
I am currently obsessively researching Justin Duerr. (You can click on links for artworks at the top of his web page and see hundreds of them.) I wish there was something like a coffee table book of his art where I could slowly study them in closer detail. Going to a showing of his art would be heaven, and I suppose overwhelming too. Too much to see. I did see the movie that he is in Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles back in 2015 (but have forgotten a lot of it) and am going to watch it again.
Progress shot. Yesterday I helped Dave put the first (lowest) row of sheathing boards on the roof of his boat pavilion. He has done nearly everything on the building himself. He could have put that row of boards up himself - he did on the other side of the roof. But it was much easier for him to have someone to hold the ends of the first boards in their proper place as he nailed them. I am amazed at what a man alone can do. Maybe the next photo I show of it will have that boat up off the ground and all his boats will be in their proper places in the building.
Last night we watched Bohemian Rhapsody. It was quite good. I had never been an actual fan of Queen but I liked many of their songs. I liked learning more about Freddy Mercury.
