John mowed the brown stubble this morning, and managed to roil up a yellow-jacket nest. He hurried in with one sting over his eyebrow. I gave him some benadryl and put cortisone cream on the spot. Unfortunately, he's sure he brought a couple inside with him - but we haven't seen any sign of them so far. He did find their hole and sprayed it thoroughly, then again this evening. I wish he’d start getting somebody else to do the yard work, but he says he’s not ready to do that … yet.
It was good to get back to the painting class yesterday. It’s is an advanced, experimental class in acrylics and mixed media. The focus this session is learning to work in a series (using similar sizes or colors or subject matter, etc.) It's definitely something I need to work on. I'll try to be better about taking photos and posting them on the blog. Click here for my instructor's website.
