From wonderful art and flowers, to more art







 ----------

And the Asheville Art Museum's permanent collection offers this:

 Oops, you can't be expected to read that sign.  But I did like the fabric art hanging by it.



A bit of enlargement.

Two new Kalanchoe plants to brighten my front porch view. I've never seen (let alone had) any with these super blossoms, and just look at those huge leaves! Someone gave them a good shot of fertilizer.

(Notes on health: pm -THanks for the comments about my dizziness yesterday. It improved about by half...just can move slowly and hold head upright as much as possible. Grab the wall or furniture if I try to do otherwise!

 Pulmonologist finally called (after my nap) to say to quit the antibiotic for a few days, see if that helps. If so, then take half the dose they started me with. OK by me.  

Morning Friday. I can get out of bed, walk around (oh I feel like I'm walking my acres of land to just stroll from one window to another opening them to the cool air!) No head problems, I'm so much lighter feeling and no dizziness (for now!) Yes I meditated and am deeply grateful for return to normal. And I was really touched by my blog friends' support yesterday when I had to just sit here most of the day...not moving my head if possible!

  1. Lovely artwork and lovely flowers. I do love colour! I've had a few kalanchoe plants - I can never seem to get them to last long, maybe they aren't meant to (but here they have to be indoor plants).

    1. Same for me, even when living in FL I would keep Kalanchoes indoors in winter, outside in summer. They would also propagate easily from cuttings...but then the fungus came among us a few years ago...all had to be tossed. Hope these survive!

    1. I kind of never thought about it...but do remember Maggie Krume (I think that's her name) who started Grey Panthers many years back. Growl...I'm definitely one. Though not to be confused with a cougar!

  4. I’m happy for you that you're having a better morning.

    The hands exhibit was odd and seemed a bit creepy to me.

    1. yes yes yes! Weird hands...very sad looking painting. I'm still holding up the walls some of the time...dead-headed a bunch of pansies and put one on the balcony where it won't be as hot as there's no direct sun there.

  5. Very glad you're doing better today. We older people do have to be cautious with all kinds of meds and reactions.
    Maggie Kuhn was the gray panther leader.
    The hands are a bit creepy! But I'm enjoying the whole concept of this exhibit.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, and I'm in total agreement. I feel medical teams that work from "patient portals" and are made up of people who've never even seen me just don't make for good medicine. How can they know a thing about me besides numbers and notes from someone who did meet me, and listen to my lungs? Hey folks, I'm a real human being!!

  6. I loved the hands! But your flowers are amazing.
    I am happy to hear you are better by half! This is progress. I've had vertigo for a few days. Crazy days,
