Mid-July and all we are thinking about is how to stay cool. Here’s a floral distraction. This vehicle was advertising the Florescence Illusions garden show. It was hosted by the River Oaks Garden club, the Garden Club of Houston, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
Love the hat!
Boogie Woogie is a piece of artwork in Houston by the artist Patrick Dougherty. Fascinating.
Geronimo was the first stop Pat and I made on a Saturday. We went down to check out the antique shops. We stopped in at the Geronimo General Store. All these photos are from the Geronimo General Store except for the horse and buggy photo; that is from down the road.
I know it isn’t your day to keep track of me — it never is — but I’ll tell you anyway: I’m going on a field assignment. (Code for “I’ll be away from my blog taking a class.” (I love taking classes.)) This means I won’t be keeping up with some of my posts that are based on prompts for a while (e.g., photo challenges, Friday Fictioneers). I have, however, scheduled posts for each day.
The bad news: my sketching career is on hold, due to some very painful tendonitis (also spelled “tendinitis.” Don’t know why.) No more knitting, either. On the bright side, (the very blue, bright side), I “get” to wear kinesio tape. When anyone asks about it, I tell them that when you get older and start falling apart, the physical therapist uses fancy blue duct tape to hold you together. Works for me.
Kinesio tape aka fancy blue duct tape for people
I ran out of time on this sketch, while I was standing there. I was in a parking lot and people were lined up to get a space. Oh, the pressure. I decided not to finish it from the photo. I don’t know what I would have done if I had wanted to be an architect way back when. Learn how to draw by using a ruler, or software, these days.

It's a long story ...
