Super Summer 23!
Two weeks ago while up on a step ladder re-siding our garage, Dave took a tumble, a tumble of the fractured-two-vertebrae sort. To our great gratitude—and astonishment!—no spinal cord damage, nothing else broken, no internal bleeding, no concussion. Following a few days of advanced trauma care flat on his back in hospital, he has returned home to a 6-8 week gig in a cervical collar 24/7—no driving, no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk, and so forth.
Team Dave&Dotty Adaptive, Inc., is taking on the unexpected challenges of SuperSummer23!
Dotty the artist, however, is a bit distracted, unfocused, and taking frequent naps. But she is getting to her studio periodically, a few minutes at a time, using her sketchbook for some therapeutic experimenting and freeplay.

OUCH! So, so glad for Dave that it is not worse! We so often forget how fragile we are, as a species. Until something like this reminds us. But then, injury also reminds us of our inner strength and tenacity. Happy Healing Summer to you both!
This bloom-ish composition makes me think of both of those qualities. It is bold and strong, but there are also some delicate bits and edges. LOVE! Carol, thanks for your good wishes! I am grateful for each time I can paint/create—always wonderful nourishing and healing at hand.
