Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

I'm happy to say we had an almost dry day today, with some sun and blue skies in between cloudy phases. Last night it rained very heavily again. The Rhine is very full, almost up to the footpath again, with lots of standing water on the fields. I hope it will go down again, as the repeated high water puts a lot of pressure on the embankments which keep us all safe. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry, but we have heavy rains predicted again for Thursday. At least the geese, ducks and gulls are having a whale of a time.

Since last week the fingers of my right hand have been getting bad again, so I am once again having to take huge doses of cortisone. This is the fourth course this year, and I don't like it, but I need to get rid of the necrosis and all of the open spots on my fingers. So, I'm trying to keep positive and hoping for the best as always!

Today I have a hybrid page to share. The background was hand-painted, splashed and dripped. The figures are hand-carved stamps which I magicked into my graphic programme and changed to die cuts, which were digitally cut out and placed onto the background. The quote is from Martin Luther King. The stitching was added with a digital airbrush. I am linking to Eileen's green challenge at AJJ:

The violets were nestling at the side of the path:

There are always lots of horses and riders out and about:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
