Nothing left now but a memory.<br />

So I painted over my in-progress landscape<br />
with a house.<br />
It looks awful, too.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do any of you have studio elves?<br />
Or is it just me?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elves are hard to peg.<br />
They ride the fine line in between things.<br />
<br />
So while you may not necessarily<br />
want them on <i>your</i> team,<br />
you sure as hell don't want them<br />
playing for the other side.<br />
Just sayin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I inherited this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He previously lorded it over two other studios that I know of.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After forty-four years here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my oldest best Boulder friend up and left town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put her dog and her cat and her fish into her car</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and moved to Apalachicola,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of all places.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fish were so thrilled,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it took one of em just a couple of days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to launch itself up out of the bowl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and onto the floor.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our house, there are few photo albums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any image worth saving winds up on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the refrigerator door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once there, it becomes a part of an ever-changing collage,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now and then, I take a picture of it.<br />
The top right one was of an especially fine door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's part of this week's incarnation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gcxVcTlq38ze3KHwePpxppCKu2D1g588KGIufTxcJ0MJGtLRl8DABQ5c3hPT8Hb9Bm2bvoQQ2Mkj1NCSsMbDK75B_J0fdJBxlwJhTeJQPwRj2hG1HrgwcvpUiY4w7H6NpZP4QYMwBAM/s1600/IMG_2281.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gcxVcTlq38ze3KHwePpxppCKu2D1g588KGIufTxcJ0MJGtLRl8DABQ5c3hPT8Hb9Bm2bvoQQ2Mkj1NCSsMbDK75B_J0fdJBxlwJhTeJQPwRj2hG1HrgwcvpUiY4w7H6NpZP4QYMwBAM/s1600/IMG_2281.JPG" height="400" width="290" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think every reefer door should have </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at least one piece of kid's art on it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this case, the artist is my grand niece, Julianna.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Zappa bumpersticker </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the only political schmear I can stomach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's on your reefer door?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the heart of one of our heirloom tomatoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is, past the middle of October, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we still haven't had a frost,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so the garden is producing like a jungle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strange fruit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to belabor the point, but I still can't see well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next week, I have an appointment with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a corneal specialist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping he can get to the heart of the matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As they say,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the emeffing saga continues.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/07501122778754419543">Shelley Smart</a> grew up just up the coast from me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or down the coast, as they say on the coast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never met her there. Still haven't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's because I met her here in blogland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I had mentioned Day's lobster rolls in a post, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she popped up like clam squirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Said she grew up with the Day's kids,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
went to school with them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while I was growing up on their lobster rolls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shelley comments that she's also having </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cataract surgery in a couple of weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I were there (Oxnard, I think), we'd do lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd buy you a lobster roll, Shell, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and tell you it's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a piece of cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One month after cataract surgery,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my right eye is still wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to blurry, it's now also red, itchy and swollen.</div>

My left-eye vision looks old and yellow; </div>

the right eye shows bright new blues.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After spending the last 10 months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
waltzing with the waters,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pumping and drying and digging, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
running from it and chasing it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the new well up at the ranch is finally in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there's finally water in the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I say "finally"? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sing halle-agua!!!</div>
